The smbldap-populate script in smbldap-tools-0.8.8-1 (and other versions) no longer adds a user called Administrator - it adds a user called root. So what you now get is:
# getent passwd | fgrep x:0 root:x:0:0:root:/root:/bin/bash root:x:0:0:Netbios Domain Administrator:/home/root:/bin/false
The first entry comes from /etc/passwd while the second comes from LDAP.
I would feel happier if the LDAP root user had the same values as the /etc/passwd root user for common attributes, Ie home directory -> /root and shell -> /bin/bash. Would anyone hazard a guess as to what I would screw up by doing that?
Why is it it necessary to have an LDAP root user anyway? Would it work to have an LDAP Administrator user instead and map him to /etc/passwd root (as someone has previously mentioned)?

I don't know about the HOWTO-Collection but the example in the Guide shows:
# getent passwd | grep root root:x:998:512:Netbios Domain Administrator:/home:/bin/false
Why does LDAP root have uid 998 and what happened to the /ete/password root user?
