[Samba] adding users in smbpasswd file instead of Directory

[Saravanan]

Hi,

I am new to ldap. I am following Gerald Carter ldap
system admin book.

when i add user using 

[root at server openldap]# smbpasswd -a saravanan        
    [  OK  ]
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:

it is updating users in /etc/samba/smbpasswd file
instead of updating the Directory. Both openldap and
samba runs in the same server. First I compiled samba
without --with-ldapsam. Now i compiled the samba with
--with-ldapsam. Still it is updating smbpasswd file. 

smb.conf

[global]
   netbios name       = LDAP	
   workgroup          = LDAP
   server string      = LDAP Rules the World
   encrypt passwords  = yes
   unix password sync = false
   security           = user
   smb passwd file    = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
   

   log file           = /var/log/samba/log.%m
   log level          = 0
   max log size       = 0

   socket options     = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192
SO_SNDBUF=8192

   domain logons      = true
   os level           = 80
   preferred master   = true
   local master       = true
   domain master      = true
   dns proxy          = true
   wins support       = true
#   domain admin group = ajith

   logon path         = \\LDAP\profiles\%u
   #logon path		= \\%L\profile\%U
   logon drive        = U:
   logon home         = \\LDAP\%u
   logon script       = logon.cmd

   #invalid users      = root

   ldap admin dn      = "cn=root,dc=ldap,dc=com"
   ldap server	      = ldap.ldap.com
   ldap port          = 389
   ldap suffix        = "dc=ldap,dc=com"
   ldap ssl           = no
   ldap filter	      =
"(&(uid=%U)(objectclass=sambaAccount))"

[homes]
   comment        = Home Directories
   valid users    = %S
   read only      = false
   create mask    = 0600
   directory mask = 0700
   browseable     = false

[netlogon]
   comment     = Network Logon Service
   path        = /usr/local/var/samba/netlogon
   writable    = no
# why would we want these?
#   guest ok    = yes
#   share modes = no

[profiles]
   path           = /usr/local/var/samba/profiles
   writeable      = true
   browseable     = false
   create mode    = 0600
   directory mode = 0700
# why would we want this?
#   guest ok       = yes


When I give "testparm" command to check the smb.conf
file it says 

[root at server openldap]# testparm -f
/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
Load smb config files from
/usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf

Please help me to fix this.
