'slapcat | grep PDC' will show you where the problem really is.

Doing this should fix you up:

$ /etc/init.d/smb stop (or whatever your service name is, maybe "samba")
$ /etc/init.d/ldap stop (or whatever your service name is, maybe "slapd")
$ slapcat > ldap.ldif
$ cp ldap.ldif ldap.ldif.bak
$ sed -i 's/OLDNAME/NEWNAME/g' ldap.ldif
$ cd /var/lib/ldap
$ rm -rf *
$ slapadd < ldap.ldif
$ /etc/init.d/ldap start (or whatever your service name is, maybe "slapd")
$ /etc/init.d/smb start (or whatever your service name is, maybe "samba")

You want to more-or-less follow the instructions on the
DisasterRecovery page of the documentation site:
http://www.vcsvikings.org/docuwiki/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DisasterRecovery

...with the exception that you want to replace OLDNAME with NEWNAME in
your LDIF file before you repopulate your DB.

Would you mind jotting down notes on this process on the documentation
wiki, so other folks can figure out how to do this, too?

Thanks,
Matt
