Well, I don't know about 2.2.x but ldapssl is on by default in Samba 3.
Assumeing both your samba server and your ldap server are on the same
box, consider setting it to off in smb.conf.

| server# smbpasswd myUser
| New SMB password:
| Retype new SMB password:

| ldap_connect_system: Binding to ldap server as ""
| Bind failed: Can't contact LDAP server

| Failed to modify password entry for user myUser
