I have found and issue that slapd is not always running. Sometimes smbldap
does not connect.
#/etc/init.d/slapd start fixes that temporarily.

It is set up under services. I'm not sure what is causing this. I could set
up a tab to check if it is running and start it if it is not, but that
shouldn't be necessary.
