[Samba] Samba authentication problem

[Alan Womack]

On a small home network, I am trying to move from simple share based security =
to user to openldap.

I have simple share working fine, as long as no authentication is occuring.  =
Obviously not at all secure!

The two immediate problems are

when I go to security=3Duser on the NT authentication side I get:

[Alan at Webby Alan]$ smbclient //webby/WinShare -U Alan
added interface ip=3D192.168.0.5 bcast=3D192.168.0.255 nmask=3D255.255.255.0
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
[Alan at Webby Alan]$


and on setting up ldap:

[root at Webby openldap]# ldapadd -x -h localhost -D =
"cn=3Dmanager,dc=3DWEBBY,dc=3Dcom" -f base.ldif -W
Enter LDAP Password:
ldap_bind: Can't contact LDAP server


I have no NT server, a pair of win98 boxes and a RH linux 7.2 box samba is =
running on.  I'm sure I have some errors in my configuration files, but have =
had an aweful time making sense of the 200 readme's out on the web.
