Hi,

I know this is old, but I'm wondering if its working for you?

I've tried updating one of our development servers to samba34 with
LDAP but it doesn't work, retries connecting to the LDAP server
multiple times, netstat shows it connections, but in the log files it
complains about no connection or no passwords returned.

Had to go back to Samba33 and all is working.

Regards
