[Samba] Re: PLEASE HELP! Can't add machines to domain! - SOLVED

[Dan]

I figured out what my problem was.  It was with nss_ldap not 
authenticating off of ldap.  I didn't notice it before because I had all 
the same users etc in the local file as I did in ldap.  After adding 
some more users to ldap and running "getent passwd", I realized they 
weren't showing up.  I looked around and tried to turn on debugging but 
it didn't work.  I then realized it obviously wasn't reading the 
ldap.conf under my /etc/openldap directory.  I linked that conf to /etc 
and voila everything works!  Something to keep in mind for people seeing 
what I was seeing.
