I am using SuSE 8.2 and eDirectory 8.7 as passdb backend These are the correct LDAP suffixes: ldap suffix = ou=department,o=company,c=DE ldap machine suffix = ou=server,ou=clients,ou=department,o=company,c=DE ldap user suffix = ou=people,ou=department,o=company,c=DE ldap group suffix = ou=group,ou=department,o=company,c=DE As soon as I commit changes in SWAT the ldap suffix is appended to all other suffixes a second time in my smb.conf: ldap suffix = ou=department,o=company,c=DE ldap machine suffix = ou=server,ou=clients,ou=department,o=company,c=DE,ou=department,o=company,c=DE ldap user suffix = ou=people,ou=department,o=company,c=DE,ou=department,o=company,c=DE ldap group suffix = ou=group,ou=department,o=company,c=DE,ou=department,o=company,c=DE ldap idmap suffix = ou=department,o=company,c=DE,ou=department,o=company,c=DE So I manually entered the other suffixes without the "ou=department,o=company,c=DE" part ( e.g. ou=group ) . Still, the smb.conf ends up with double ldap suffix appended two times when changes are comitted in SWAT.

Created attachment 135 [details] Implement ldap sub-suffixes as per documentation I've submitted this patch to the samba-technical mailing list for review. It seems to fix your problem and also makes the various ldap suffix parameters behave as documented.
After more then a week of testing I can say this bug is FIXED for me. Thanks !
