[Samba] help with LDAP and Samba

[Andre Cameron]

Hello Everyone,

I am having some trouble and would greatly appreciate some assistance.  
I apologize if this has been on the list before I am however down to two 
hours before due date.  I have use samba before with no problems but 
this is the first time I have had to do it with LDAP.  The problem is no 
users appear to be authenticating and there are no errors in the logs.  
I followed the online tutorials and tried several variations to no 
avail.  I would REALLY appreciate it if someone who has a working 
samba/OpenLDAP enviroment could take a moment to assist me.

As I stated I am not getting any errors in the error logs.  OpenLDAP is 
a production server being used as the authentication system for our 
email and TACACS, so that is working.  I added the samba schema when I 
set it up as I knew it would be only a matter of time before we went to 
samba.  Note in the config below I have tried it with and without the 
filter along with and without group/user/computer suffix.

OS: Fedora Core 2
Samba: 3.0.3-5
