Notice the double commas in this section of /etc/samba3/smb.conf which was re-written with SWAT3 samba3-swat-3.0.1-0.pre2.2mdk. ldap suffix = dc=nelfc,dc=com ldap machine suffix = ou=Hosts,,dc=nelfc,dc=com ldap user suffix = ou=People,,dc=nelfc,dc=com ldap group suffix = ou=Group,,dc=nelfc,dc=com ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap,,dc=nelfc,dc=com ldap admin dn = cn=root,dc=nelfc,dc=com message command = /usr/bin/linpopup The above occurred when I specified ldap suffix = dc=nelfc,dc=com Later I tried this again with the ldap suffix = (blank on Swat web page) and I ended up with entries like... ldap machine suffix = ou=Hosts,dc=nelfc,dc=com,dc=nelfc,dc=com
Fixed in latest SAMBA_3_0 cvs. Should have been filed against 3.0 i think.
sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
