Hi, Trying to setup Samba to use an LDAP backend. I'm also using it with NSS which is working fine for all the unix related stuff (i.e. i can finger accounts etc). When i start samba i get the following error: Sep 5 19:42:57 staging1 nmbd[30805]: [2007/09/05 19:42:57, 0] nmbd/nmbd.c:terminate(58) Sep 5 19:42:57 staging1 nmbd[30805]: Got SIGTERM: going down...
