[Samba] Samba-3 by Example Ch 6

[taso]

I am following Chapter 6 of Samba-3 By Example to set up Samba on
a Fedora 3 box. It seems to go Ok until page 144 step 5.

# net getlocalsid
[2005/05/02 00:22:04, 0] lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_search_suffix(1155)
   smbldap_search_suffix: Problem during the LDAP search:  (No such object)
SID for domain SIROCCO is: S-1-5-21- etc


Running the same command with some debugging:

It seems that a SID is being created for the host (SIROCCO) but not for the domain (ESANDS).
Is it smbd that is responsible for creating the domain SID?
Can anyone offer some insight as to what might be going wrong?
