Could you please post your config files (/etc/samba/smb.conf,
/etc/ldap.conf, /etc/ldap/slapd.conf, /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf,
smbldap_bind.conf)?
Try to set "loglevel 256" in slapd.conf and "log level = 10" in smb.conf,
and check messages in syslog while logging in as an administrative user.
There should be at least one error message in the log, which will tell you
what causes this strange problem.
