samba - Feb 2006 - samba as PDC with ldap

I have read louis`s howto from december, tried to use kunbuntu, this failed at
the ldap server test stage, tried various things, could not make it work, so
downloaded debian.
Followed louis`s howto and compiled a 2.6.8 kernel (louis, the compile
instructions do not work as given).
Followed the howto, downloaded samba etc, setup slapd etc as per instructions
and it failed again at the same place.
So, I googled and found the the Linux Samba Openldap howto, printed this and
read it, thats where I found the answer to the problem, Louis missed a bit, you
have to edit /etc/ldap/ldap conf to point to your server
HOST 127.0.0.1
BASE dc=<domainname>,dc=org or net or com or nothing(you do not have to
use the last part, you just have to be consistant)
This is where I come to my next problem, I cannot get the localsid. When I ask
for it (net getlocalsid) I get this
[2006/02/19 11:19:58,  0] lib/smbldap.c:smb_ldap_start_tls(546)  Failed to issue
the StartTLS instruction: Connect error
I have googled, found a few instances of this with earlier versions of samba, so
upgraded to 3.0.21b-1 from debian testing, it still gives same answer, anybody
have an answer please.

Hi rowland, 

tell me whats the problem, and i wil help you,
if there are errors in my howto i'll fix this, but.

The howto i wrote will work.
i installed 3 servers with this and its working
prefectly.

/etc/ldap/ldap conf to point to your server
>HOST 127.0.0.1
>BASE dc=<domainname>,dc=org or net or com or nothing(you do 
>not have to use the last part, you just have to be consistant)
 
This part, is done while you install the libnss-ldap and libpam-ldap
and the defaults of the slapd config are used and are corrected.

i think you edited this or already installed it.
If you use the debian standard setting it wil work.
