Right, well, "pdbedit -L" failed with a size limit, ldapsearch also
failed with a size limit.  I have increased the sizelimt in both
/etc/ldap.conf and /etc/openldap/ldap.conf to 10000 and both these
commands now function.

However, the smbldap tools which I believe is responsible for returning
a list of groups or users to the workstation spits out an error of "size
limit exceeded".  Does anyone know how to increase this or is this still
a samba problem.  

I would think the win2k workstation is asking samba for a list of groups
(or users) and samba passes this off to the smbldap tools which fail. 
Does that make sense?
