Hi Markus,

You will need to check your ldap.conf and tell it where to find the ldap server.

Should be something like this in there:

#/etc/ldap.conf

host    ldap1.domainname.com ldap2.domainname.com
or
host    192.168.0.100

Cheers,

Adrian Sender.

Zitat von empirium <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I have samba 3 with ldap as a authentication backend. When I use
pdbedit -a user everything works ok and the user is adding to the ldap
database.
But I have problem with exporting smbpasswd to ldap, when I try pdbedit
-i smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd -e ldapsam
I've got a problem that failed to bind to server ldap://localhost
Error: Can't contact LDAP server,
but my ldap serwer is on the other host than localhost. I dont know why
it choose localhost as a ldap server.
And it is strange because if I use pdbedit -a user everything works ok.
do you know anybody what is wrong?

part of my smb.conf
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://10.0.1.57
ldap suffix = dc=test,dc=pl
ldap machine suffix = ou=machines
ldap user suffix = ou=users
ldap group suffix = ou=groups
ldap admin dn = cn=admin,dc=test,dc=pl
ldap delete dn = no

we had a similar problem some time ago, there seems to be a bug in pdbedit. we got around it by calling "pdbedit -i smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd -e ldapsam:
ldap://myldapserv.domain";
