Thanks Craig, 
i set the ldap-admin password correctly. For testing i also set the access 
rights in slapd.conf to: 
access to * 
        by * write 
 
Anyway, the tools basically work, the unexpected behaviour only shows up when 
redirecting stdin from a file. 
Ok, i think i have to live with it or write my own smbldap-useradd(.java) ;) 
 
Kind regards, 
Malte Mueller
