Ok... i don't give up that easily and after a lot of poking around, I found the answer to this...
In order to compile samba from SRPM to work with ldap, you need to make the end of the --with section of the samba.spec file look like this:
--with-profile \
--disable-static \
--with-msdfs \
--with-ldapsam \
--with-ssl \
--with-pam_smbpassand then ... you need to fix some paths in the ssl headers...
kerberos headers aren't found first... as they are in
/usr/kerberos/include
symlink all the dirs and files there to
/usr/include
but that's not all...
you need to edit:
/usr/include/krb5.h
and hardcode the path to profile.h... change #include <profile.h> to #include </usr/include/profile.h>
and then rpmbuild -ba samba.spec and you get a samba that works with ldap... I guess you don't need the ssl if you aren't using ldap with ssl ... which is fine if you feel it's safe, I don't.
Took me a day and a half to figure that out, hopefully it might save someone else the time as well.

Hi,
If you're considering using samba, ldap and Redhat 9, forget it. Spent all day yesterday trying to get RH9 samba srpm to compile with it and no go... I was under the impression that a lot of people use ldap to authenticate samba users for central authentication, at least I do... they are certainly going to be dissapointed if they try it with RH9.
Don't really see why Redhat don't build samba with ldap support built in... it's hardly experimental any more...
Really starting to lose the faith in Redhat these days... perhaps it's time to move on.
