[Samba] smbldap_open: cannot access LDAP when not root..

[G. Clifford Williams]

I seem to recall discussion about fixing code in samba-ldap extensions 
that required execution as uid=root. I'm running on Debian (Etch) with 
samba 3.0.24 and have been encountering the following messages in my 
attemps to get pdbedit policies propegated across all DCs through ldap:

[2008/03/01 00:56:13, 0] lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_open(1009)
   smbldap_open: cannot access LDAP when not root..


from smb.conf we have:

ldap admin dn = uid=root,xy=blah,yz=blah,yz=blah


Has anyone encountered this with 3.0.24 and is it fixed with 3.0.28?


TIA
