Hi Peter, excuse me that i cannot help you solving this problem because we have it too. We have installed Samba 3.0.7 on FreeBSD 5.2.1 with Heimdal Kerberos 0.6.1, OpenLDAPClient 2.2.x, BerkleyDB 4.1.x, Krb5_pam , Nsskrb5 ,Nssldap andOpen SSL 0.9.7d and got the same problems like you for 5 days. So I have the question whether you have solved already the problem? Can you help us with your experiences? Thanks and Kind regards Michael
