[Samba] Can't contact LDAP server,

[adrian sender]

Hi Markus,

You will need to check your ldap.conf and tell it where to find the ldap 
server.

Should be something like this in there:

#/etc/ldap.conf

host    ldap1.domainname.com ldap2.domainname.com
or
host    192.168.0.100

Cheers,

Adrian Sender.
