[Samba] samba ldap bind problems.

I have a solaris 9 box that I am configuring to be a PDC using the
latest version of samba authenticating off of an Openldap db.

This machine uses the same ldap server to authenticate the unix users
but after following documentation for setting up samba/ldap PDC.

Using smbldap-populate populated the database with no problems but when
I try and run

smblclient -L master

I get the following errors in syslog and the command times out
eventually. basically from what I am seeing I believe that somewhere
there is wrong bind being made to my ldap server. Nothing is appearing
in the logs of the ldap server. I have looked through all files that I
can think of that has bind information and that is correct. I have
dumped secrets.tbd and that is correct.

If anyone can offer any problems it would be much appreciated.
