Problems with Samba, Ldap and Win200 in pr47

[Roman Bartnik <bartnikr@gmx.de>]

Hello,

 we are having severe difficulties adding Win2k/XP clients to the
domain.  While this worked just fine for pre46 with Maximilian Wilhelm's
solution from http://debian.rfc3514.org, from pre47 onwards it doesn't.

 We're getting the same error message as reported in
http://bugs.skolelinux.no/show_bug.cgi?id=737 - some digging in LDAP
with slapcat revealed that smbadmin is missing there.  Since we're not
very familiar with LDAP, we haven't started further investigations.

 So, our question is, if anyone is currently working or has worked on
this problem and found a solution.  Is this problem important to others
as well?

 Some background: Our group is testing Skolelinux as a new standard
server solution for schools in Hamburg.  We successfully installed pre46
in a test lab, and now we are having problems of adding the WinXP
clients to the domain in the test school.  This is a very severe
problem, because we have to give a presentation of Skolelinux on May
27th, and there will be some decision people whom we'll have to convince
of Skolelinux.  This won't work if we can't set up the reference
network.

 Any help will be appreciated.
