Hello,
I tried the example , chapter 2 from "The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference 
Guide" , Big Organization , followed exactly the procedure as described in 
this book and get the following error: 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
failed to bind to server with dn= cn=Manager Error: Invalid credentials

Connection to LDAP Server failed for the 1 try!
smbldap_search_suffix: Problem during the LDAP search: (unknown) (Invalid 
credentials)

Failed to add entry for user gerrit.
Failed to modify password entry for user gerrit
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
when trying to add the first user (gerrit).
What is making up invalid credentials?
I used openldap-2.1.19 , compiled with no options, 
installed it , edited the /etc/openldap/slapd.conf as 
described in the reference guide , edited smb.conf
as described in the reference guide, (only changed
the dc's to the domain the machine is in), added the 
initial ldif as described in the book, but , no cigar.
system is slackware 9.1, db-4.2.52, samba-3.0.2a.

TIA
