LDAP Server and Authentication & Samba Domain

[David Trask]

Did you set the Edubuntu server up as a client as well?  You'll need to
run   ./smbldap ldapclient    You would do this same thing on stand-alone
workstations as well.   The server is a client just like a workstation
would be.  Keep me posted.
