Hi Adam,

Do you have a root entry in your LDAP directory for: dc=hfc,dc=com?

If not, you need to add one because Samba wont add it for you. For example, this LDIF:

dn:dc=hfc,dc=com
objectClass: dcObject
objectClass: organization
o: hfc
dc: hfc

I would assume that not having this would cause Samba to complain that it can't add your domain to the LDAP directory, because you can't add an entry below a root that does not exist.

You can't just install OpenLDAP, install Samba, run them both and expect it to work. You need to prepare your OpenLDAP setup first! There is a script called smbldap-populate which can put a bunch of default entries into your LDAP directory. Have a look at:

/usr/share/doc/samba-3.0.X/LDAP/smbldap-tools-0.X/smbldap-populate

(obviously replace the X with your version)

And make sure you read the README and INSTALL and doc/ stuff in that directory too. If you don't have the smbldap-tools stuff in your Samba directory you can always get the latest version from https://gna.org/projects/smbldap-tools/

HTH,

Phil
