samba authentication problems

I'm trying to get my FBSD and XP boxes speaking the same samba
language.  I compiled samba with only "make install" and no options.
I've configured my smb.conf but when I try to add a user with
"smbpasswd" I'm getting ldap errors.
 
# smbpasswd -a <userName>
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
LDAPS option set...!
fetch_ldap_pw: no ldap secret retrieved!
ldap_connect_system: Failed to retrieve password for from secrets.tdb
LDAPS option set...!
fetch_ldap_pw: no ldap secret retrieved!
ldap_connect_system: Failed to retrieve password for from secrets.tdb
Failed to add entry for user linuxbox.
Failed to modify password entry for user linuxbox

AFAIK, I have not enabled ldap authentication.  But how do I 
confirm?
 
Also, if it is enabled, should I disable?
 
Does this seem to be a smaba-only aspect, or does it affect 
my entire FreeBSD environment?
 
Thanks,
~John
