Setting up samba as PDC

[BUTTERWORTH,THADDAEUS (HP-Boise,ex1)]

Hi Joerg,
Thanks for the reply. I've done that already and still get the same message
when I do the smbpasswd -a command. The user I'm trying to add is one that
has already been added to the BSD users. Do you have any other ideas?

Thad

you have to set the password for "ldap admin dn" first.

try 'smbpasswd -w <password>'

the password is then stored in the secrets.tdb file. this is necessary to
make samba able to connect as a user with write permissions to the LDAP
server. otherwise, as your current situation shows, it is not possible to
change any information in the LDAP tree.
