In fact the script smbldap-populate hangs here, see, it mentions the
authentication error at the begining.

I never used smbldap-populate, but I beleive that to have it wiork,
you must configure/edit that script and define a password somewhere.

I beleive you would also have to configure the domain name, unless you
want to keep MYDOMAIN (see line number two).

As I suggested few days ago, you should try to do a ldapsearch and get
a result from it first.

Samba is not something simple to configure. LDAP neither, so you
better go step by step.

Good luck,

Olivier
