How do you add an "Administrator" account to ldap.
I want to leave root in /etc/passwd but have "Administrator" in ldap
I have checked Howto Collection and the Samba-Ldap-3 but they contain no information. The Ldap-Howto has a suggestion but then says not to use.

I don't know which version of samba you have, i use samba 3.0.0rc2 and LDAP.
I didn't wanted to have root in LDAP too as I plan to use my LDAP for two servers and I don't want the same root account/password.
In my smb.conf i write : passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1 tdbsam guest
then restart samba, and launch : pdbedit -b tdbsam -a root
You can check if it worked with pdbedit -b tdbsam -L -v
It worked for me perfectly.
I've added later root and a few others to the "Domain Admin" group in a LDAP entry.
The drawback is that the account's still named 'root', not 'Administrator'.
I hope i'll help you a bit.
