samba - Jul 2003 - Samba 3B3 with LDAP

Hello,

I have compiled Samba 3.0 Beta 3 and am attempting to get it to work with 
LDAPSAM.

Whenever I run smbpasswd or pdbedit, I get the following output.

       sparc10:/etc/openldap# /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a bill
       New SMB password:
       Retype new SMB password:
       failed to add user dn= uid=bill,ou=People with: Server is unwilling to 
perform
                referral missing
       failed to modify/add user with uid = bill (dn = uid=bill,ou=People)
       Failed to add entry for user bill.
       Failed to modify password entry for user bill

To try to figure out what is causing this problem I have grep'd through the 
source code looking for the error messages above, searched deja.com, and looked 
through the archives of this list.  I cannot find anything anywhere that 
makes a reference to "referral missing" and as such have no idea where
to go to
debug the problem.

Using DaveDAP, a PHP LDAP display / editing environment I am able to browse 
the 4 entries in the LDAP server which are the initial entries needed to make 
Samba work.

Does anyone have any experience with this?  I am at a complete loss.

Hello,

I am using OpenLDAP 2.1.22.  To the best of my understanding, my server is 
not set up as a replica.  I don't know if there is a relevant section in 
slapd.conf that you'd like to look at as most of it is just telling slapd
where the
database goes, what the indexes should be and the basic configuration of the 
schema's.
