[TriLUG] Samba-3 + PDC+LDAP Question

[mark at thefowles.com]

Matt -

I recreate the tdb's (secret for ldap  (smbpasswd -w) and then add root again so that it creates the passdb.tdb for the backend.

I think one of my problems is having the ldap and smb server on two different machines.

Thanks,
Mark
