samba - Feb 2008 - Linux (specially Fedora 8), issues with ldap and samba services starting up at boot time

Hey guys,

For some reason, when I enable smb and nmb to start at boot time... I 
get error messages in my log.smbd.

[2008/02/01 18:47:00, 1] lib/smbldap.c:another_ldap_try(1153)
  Connection to LDAP server failed for the 1 try!
[2008/02/01 18:47:04, 1] lib/smbldap.c:another_ldap_try(1153)
  Connection to LDAP server failed for the 2 try!

 From this you'd think that either I hadn't stored the right password 
(via smbpasswd -w), or the LDAP server is somehow unreachable.  But that 
isn't the case.  And when I start both services manually, after boot, 
everything works great.  Was curious if anyone else has run into this 
problem.  Granted, I am a lot more familiar with BSD variants than I am 
Linux... so I may be missing something obvious.

Hey there, thanks for the response!  Here is that same section out of my 
smb.conf.

passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://example.com:389
ldap admin dn = cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com
ldap suffix = ou=samba,dc=example,dc=com
ldap user suffix = ou=users
ldap machine suffix = ou=computers
ldap group suffix = ou=groups


The main difference between mine, and your working config, is that I 
specify port 389 in my passdb backend paramater.  Also, my admin dn 
isn't within the same part of the tree that the samba stuff is in.  I 
have the samba users/machines/groups within ou=samba.  Do you think this 
could cause an issue?

BTW, I'm using OpenLDAP.

paste your smb.conf, maybe you have a typo?
