Hi 
i finally got samba working with fds 1.1; what was missing was /etc/ldap.conf configuration.
This url can be very helpful:
http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?title=UNIX_and_Windows_Accounts_in_Zimbra_LDAP_and_Zimbra_Admin_UI

the "Configuring on RHEL5/CentOS5/Fedora7 using authconfig"
help me.
Firstly:
authconfig --enableldap --enableldapauth --disablenis --enablecache \
           --ldapserver=gregzimbra1.zimbra.com --ldapbasedn=dc=gregzimbra1,dc=zimbra,dc=com \
           --updateall

further:
"
The last parameter will update /etc/ldap.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/pam.d/system-auth configuration files. The only file which requires manual editing is /etc/ldap.conf.
The base line should be already there. It is inserted by authconfig. You should also see a uri line with the address of your ldap server. The host, binddn, bindpw, rootbinddn lines 
should be added as explained above and /etc/ldap.secret file should exist and contain a password."

after these 2 stepes, i was able to add administrator samba account.
Thns, i installed smbldap an di run smbldap-populate
populate is very very powerful, it does and fixes everything, at all.
After populate veriything is workung like a charm :)

	m.
