samba - Jan 2004 - smbldap-tools 8.3 populate errors

I downloaded the new 8.3 (tgz format) ldap-tools from IDEALX today. When I
run the smbldap-populate script I receive an error that it cannot find the
smbldap_tools.pm file. This file was not included in the tar file. If I
use the tools file from the samba 3.0.2pre1 distribution it is then expecting
the old smbldap_conf.pm file which has now been split in favor of the
/etc/smbldap-tools config. I do not know if the populate script is broken
or a 'tools' file should have been included in the distro.

(I did run configure.pl prior to trying to populate).

Hi,
The tgz file is incomplete, I've notced this too. The rpm is complete, so
I've
downloaded the rpm file instead, unpacked it, and copied the scripts to their 
respective location.

My system is now runnung, but I think there are some bugs in the populate 
script, e.g. the SID of the Administrator account should end with -500 as I 
know, because it's predefinded. Any comment from the author ???

and please take care of the default groups in the smbldap.conf file, default 
machine account points to "Print Operators" (550) should be
"Domain
Computers" (553).

I've also changed the gidNumber and uidNumber of the guest account and
"Domain
Guest" group to the default values of my system (SuSE9)

after this all worked correctly except some log-entries .
"Failed to open group mapping database" ....

and 

"failed to decode PDU"

any suggestions ...?

regards odi
