I had missed that but it did not help. :-) In reading the man pg for wbinfo
that appears to only be for w2k systems anyway.

I am still at a loss for the cause of this problem. Does anyone know a way
to get wbinfo to produce logs? Wtih logging turned up in both samba and ldap
I see nothing when I try to do the wbinfo -u. When I do -g I see the query in the
openldap logs.

BTW openldap version == openldap-2.2.13-2

Anyone else have any other suggestions?

Thanks for trying.

Regards,

Tom
