Fedora directory users - Jan 2008 - pdbedit Username not found!

Hi,
I''ve followed the Howto:Samba to install fds/samba on a centos5.0 box.

I keep coming across an error when I get to the pdbedit line of the howto:

pdbedit -U $( net getlocalsid | sed ''s/SID for domain skysedge.co.uk
is: //''
)-500 -u Administrator -r
Username not found!

I''m not sure what I''ve done wrong and going through the howtow
I can''t see
where I''ve messed up.  Wherever it is I''ve done it
consistently because this
is the second time I''ve tried.

ldapsearch shows Administrator does exist:

# extended LDIF
#
# LDAPv3
# base <> with scope subtree
# filter: (uid=Administrator)
# requesting: ALL
#

# Administrator, People, skysedge.co.uk
dn: uid=Administrator,ou=People,dc=skysedge,dc=co,dc=uk
uid: Administrator
cn: Samba Admin
givenName: Samba
sn: Admin
mail: Administrator@skysedge.co.uk
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
loginShell: /bin/bash
uidNumber: 0
gidNumber: 0
homeDirectory: /root
gecos: Samba Admin

# search result
search: 2
result: 0 Success

# numResponses: 2
# numEntries: 1


Any ideas?

Thanks,

Nick

I don''t see any samba object classes included,   If you have configured
samba with LDAP backend (FDS), Your user''s LDAP information would
typically
look like

dn: uid=tom,ou=Users,dc=syroidmanor,dc=com
objectClass: top
objectClass: account
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: sambaAccount
cn: tom
uid: tom
uidNumber: 500
gidNumber: 100
homeDirectory: /hometom
loginShell: /bin/bash
gecos: User
description: User

Hmm that''s odd, just looking at my ldap settings in smb.conf, I
can''t see
what I''ve missed.
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://192.168.1.21

# ldap details
ldap admin dn = cn=Directory manager
ldap suffix = dc=skysedge,dc=co,dc=uk
ldap user suffix = ou=People
ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers
ldap group suffix = ou=Groups


That looks the same as the howto shows to me.
