[Samba] Samba guide Ch5: cannot resolve user id

[Olivier Thibaut]

Hello,

I am following Ch5 of the Samba Guide and so far it has been working 
pretty good till that point:
*

> *Procedure 5.8. LDAP Directory Initialization Steps
> *
>
> 12. This step will determine whether or not identity resolution is 
> working correctly. Do not procede is this step fails, rather find the 
> cause of the failure. The *id* command may be used to validate your

>|root# | id chrisr
>uid=1002(chrisr) gid=513(Domain Users) groups=513(Domain Users)

*I can see the user I added as a result of step 11 but at step 12 I get 
a No Such User error.
Sorry if this is obvious to some of you, I have to say I have absolutely 
no experience of this kind of setup :-(
What can I check to find the cause of the failure ?

Many thanks for your help !
