[K12OSN] ldap.secret .. Huck's bane.

[Huck]

I've tried and tried...google'n left and right...

this is the log before creating a /etc/ldap.secret file and putting in 
the passwd(from using slappasswd -s <passwd>)

Feb  5 15:37:19 ltsp gdm[32053]: pam_ldap: could not open secret file 
/etc/ldap.secret (No such file or directory)
Feb  5 15:37:21 ltsp dbus-daemon: nss_ldap: reconnected to LDAP server 
ldap://127.0.0.1/ after 1 attempt
Feb  5 15:37:29 ltsp passwd: pam_ldap: could not open secret file 
/etc/ldap.secret (No such file or directory)
Feb  5 15:37:32 ltsp passwd: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user

/etc/ldap.secret (No such file or directory)
Feb  5 15:38:03 ltsp passwd: pam_ldap: ldap_modify_s Insufficient access

after creating the /etc/ldap.secret file with the passwd in it...

I get this:

Feb  5 15:50:31 ltsp gdm[1340]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind (Invalid 
credentials)

Feb  5 15:51:45 ltsp nscd: nss_ldap: reconnected to LDAP server 
ldap://127.0.0.1/ after 1 attempt

and the passwd is the same one that I entered using the SMBLDAP 
installation script  

any ideas?
