| The smbldap-tools package requires that you have LDAP support in your
| perl installation.  If you are using an RPM based linux distribution
| you could try to search your RPM repository for a perl-ldap package
| (Fedora Core 2 has one, that's the only linux distro I have on hand
| ATM) since it's better to use rpm whenever you can in a rpm system.
| This will also make sure that you get the module where the system
| wants it as apparently you may be having a problem there.

If the answer wil lbe for posterity:

1)Mandrake has included the smbldap-tools as part of samba since about 2.2.5
2)perl-ldap has been in main since about Mandrake 9.1
3)samba-ldap mostly works out-the-box since 10.0 (which is when samba3
moved to main),since perl-ldap is required by samba-server. Just
uncomment the sample configurations in the provided  smb.conf, change
the values in /etc/samba/smbldap_conf.pm to your liking, run smbpasswd
- -w $password, and smbldap-populate. Look for more features in the new
version of Mandrake Corporate server ...
4)Fedora 2's perl-ldap packages seem not to have SSL support (since some
perl SSL modules are not provided), meaning a wonderful security hole
unless you install the required packages manually.
