samba - May 2002 - Can't add users with smbpasswd to LDAP

Hi!

I'm using samba 2.2.4 and OpenLDAP 2.0.21 on MandrakeLinux 8.2.  In some
howto, I read that I should be able to add users to the LDAP using
sambas smbpasswd.  However:

[root@teich smbldap-tools]# smbpasswd Admin
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
LDAP search "(&(uid=Admin)(objectclass=sambaAccount))" returned 0
entries.
Failed to find entry for user Admin.
Failed to modify password entry for user Admin

What did I do wrong?

did you put give the admin password to samba with the smbpasswd -j
switch?

are your sure that your administrator is named "Admin"?

run the search samba is running using ldapsearch and see if you get what
you expect.
