[Samba] Samba 3 by Example - chapter 5 & 6 ( Manager -> sambaadmin)

[adrian sender]

Hey Guys,

Gordon, I do not think that is the issue; I have tried what you said but 
still get the same error.

Remember I have a SDC or BDC that uses updateuser; the ldif I add for that 
uses plain text passwords and works perfectly.

Hmmmm.

Adrian.
