Hi Geoff,
 
I am not near the box now, I think you are on the right track. I will
post tonight the relevant parts of my ldap.conf and smb.conf. Yes my
binddn is uid=Manager,dc=hsimon,dc=com,dc=au and the user are in
ou=Users,ou=OxObjects,dc=hsimon,dc=com,dc=au. I tried to use the root
user and I set up a administrator according
to the information in the IDEALX document.
 
Cheers,
Horst
