[Samba] Problem when add Samba user into LDAP(works OK)

[adrian sender]

Dear soneedu at gmail.com,

Firstly the documentation you have been using is 3rd party documentation and 
not the offical Samba docs. I suggest you look at the Samba web site and 
read "Samba 3 by Example" chapter 5 is what your looking for. It makes it 
difficult for people to help when you use 3rd party documentation.

Have you populated the database? Have you configured smbldap.conf... these 
are important.
If all fails check the logs and see what they say, then mail us the log if 
you cannot solve the problem.

Have you added the user with smbldap tools?

1.> smbldap-useradd -m -a testuser
2.> smbldap-passwd testuser
3. > smbpasswd testuser

Your smbldap-tools are out of date, I suggest upgrading to 
smbldap-tools-0.9.1-1.

In any case for future installations use only the official samba 
documentation; you will have less problems and more people will be able to 
help you.

Thanks.
Adrian Sender.
