Well it's interesting but Likewise doesn't do the job.  I presume it's 
fine for Active Directory authentication but I'm not trying to 
authenticate agaist AD, I'm trying to authenticate against either a 
Samba 3/NT 4.0 type domain or LDAP.

I've tried following this guide for LDAP authentication in Hardy whilst 
using Hardy.1 in a VM:

http://linuxadministration.us/2008/05/17/ubuntu-804-hardy-ldap-client/

It comes up with an error message saying:

Failed to enumerate nameservice: Transport endpoint is not connected
passwd… nameservice unavailable.

When I run the command nss_updatedb ldap
