[Samba] samba ldap?

[Tim Tyler]

   Samba Ldap experts,
    I am trying to recompile samba to support ldap.  After compiling samba 
with --with-ldapsam, I had no errors with configure or 
compilation.  However, after starting up smbd and nmbd, I get these errors 
in the log.smbd file when I try to connect to the server:

[2004/12/20 13:57:02, 0] lib/debug.c:reopen_logs(590)
   Unable to open new log file /var/log/samba/smbd.log: No such file or 
directory

Is this a problem on the samba side or the ldap server side which is on 
another server?  Any  hints about resolving it?
I am just not sure where to begin to look.
