[Samba] Samba+LDAP - so close yet so far :) ...STILL NOT SOLVED

You don't need this since your UID is 0 for administrator below.  
Administrator IS root for these purposes the way you have things set.

Not needed under 3.0.x, assuming you are talking about the SignOrSeal patch.

Since you shouldn't have mapped root to Administrator, samba doesn't 
know anything about root, the only option left is 'smbpasswd -a 
Administrator'

Yes, but you told samba that Administrator = root, so it's probably 
looking for that.

Again, root is irrelevant.  They can be different as peas and pachyderms.
