Forgive me for sounding thick - what do you mean by "Without the LDAP entry 
you're attempting to authenticate against it is hard to say"?

I have the samba schema setup within LDAP, and have created the user using 
the smbldap-useradd - so the user is created as a samba user.
I can log in via the command line - i.e. the user appears to be a vlis unix 
type user also, and "finger" works fine. The only issue appears to be with 
attempting to authenticate against the user.

Cheers,


Pete.
