A colleague has seen a problem (with Samba 3.0), in using
LDAP.
A very simple version of the problem is as follows, where
he tries to authenticate a user "grw"

It looks amost as if the user isn't there... see
just below the conf file..

What's the content of objectClass=sambaAccount, or more
correctly, where do we read about it?
