[Samba] samba 2.2.3a / openLDAP connection problem

[Diego Julian Remolina]

If you have openldap compiled with tcp wrappers you should also have the
appropriate entries in the file:
/etc/hosts.allow

Try to run a simple ldapsearch from the samba machine just to make sure
you get some results:

ldapsearch -x '(cn=Manager)'

HTH,

Diego
