[Samba] Samba and ldap groups

[Maarten Buiter]

Hi Kristyan,

This might have something to do with your Access Control Lists for your
LDAP directory. Most likely you have installed your LDAP directory so
that only root can query it.

If you are using OpenLDAP, you can edit (or create) your ACLs in the
slapd.conf file. The OpenLDAP Administrator Guide Provides a few
simple examples.

If this is not the case, please provide some more information!

Success,

Maarten Buiter
