I'm using 2.2.8a.  I've now done a 'make install' after 'make
deinstall' twice, with the same results both times, so I can only
assume the installation is autodetecting openldap, as you suspected
above.

Searched the handbook and FAQ, but nothing helpful there on ldap, let
alone ldap and samba.  Google produced a slew of unanswered mail
archive questions.  I don't care one way or the other whether to use
ldap or not; I just want samba to work!  Any recommendations?
