samba - Jul 2002 - 2.2.5 Unable to authenticate users: no ldap secret retrieved

Samba 2.2.5 re-compiled without choosing ldap support on Turbolinux WS V.8.

I am not able to authenticate users, either by
#smbclient //pinguin/public  -U root%password
response:ERRSRV-ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in Tree Connect 
or Session Setup are invalid)

or by trying to add a new samba account (system account exists)
#smbpasswd -a administrator

resonse:
ldap_open_connection:connection opened
fetch_ldap_pw:no ledap secret retrieved!
ldap_connect_system: Failed to retrieve password for  from secret.tdb
Failed to add entry for user administrator.
Failed to modify password entry for user administrator.

The smbpasswd file was created from the system accounts by
#cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh >/usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
and contains all the relevant entires.

secret.tdb is an empty file.

Why does samba look in secret.tdb and establish an ldap connection, when it 
should not ??? Any suggestions ?

it keeps the ldap password in there...
use smbpasswd -w to set the ldap admin password.

Thanks for the tip. However, it will not work.

I compiled Samba 2.2.5 using "./configure" (WITHOUT any additions such
as
ldap support.)

#smbpasswd -w root
Setting stored password for "" in secrets.tdb

#smbpasswd -a administrator
ldap_open_connection: connection opened
Bind failed: Can`t contact LDAP server.
Failed to add entry for user administrator.
Failed to modify password entry for administrator.

Which makes sense, since there should be no LDAP server running.
But why should samba try to open an ldap connection at all ?
Any idea why Samba does not use the smbpasswd file but tries to use ldap ???

Any suggestions ? Ideas ? Hints ? ...
