Are you sure? That comes after the line:

[2005/09/20 12:44:41, 3] auth/auth_sam.c:check_sam_security(257)
check_sam_security: Couldn't find user 'andy' in passdb.

...which seems to imply that because the LDAP auth failed, samab attempted to
use old-style passwd-based auth instead - which will fail because 'andy'
only exists in
the LDAP directory, not passwd/smbpasswd.

smbldap-tools?

No idea... I'm an LDAP n00b! How would I find this out? But yes, to add the
user I used "smbldap-useradd" and "smbldap-passwd".

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Andy
