CentOS 5.x Samba Domain Controller With LDAP Backend Help Needed

I have follwed the tutorial here and I have run into a brick wall. When running the command

Code:

/usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -a -G 'Domain Users' -m -s /bin/bash/ -d /home/user2 -F "" -P user1

I get this error:

Code:

Error looking for next uid in sambaDomainName=sambaDomain,dc=test,dc=local:No such object at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/smbldap_tools.pm line 1189.

I am using CentOS 5.5 i386 in a virtual machine. If anyone can helo it would be appreciated.

Hello smashares! If you go here you will find some help. But what you need to do if assume your problem is the same as mine, edit the /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf file and find the

Code:

sambaUnixIdPooldn="sambaDomainName=fubar,${suffix}"

line and replace the fubar with your workgroup.

Hope this help and good luck!
