That's the spirit! :)

Yes, you've identified the same problems I have as I work on FC5
support. I've taken care of the pid file in my dev version, but I'm
still not sure what's timing out while dbus starts.

Oh - one other thing is that the "min passwd length" setting needs to
be removed from smb.conf.

I haven't uploaded the dev version anywhere yet, but I aim to do that
in the next few days. (I just got back from MoodleMootNE, so I have
until Tuesday to do it (and several other things :) before I head off
to NECC.)

OK...so I uploaded my dev version to
http://majen.net/smbldap/smbldap-installer-2.1.tgz

It's mostly working. The dbus ("System Messaging Bus") timeout during
boot goes away if you entirely remove ldap from nsswitch.conf, but
I haven't been able to track it down further than that. Also, you must
run system-config-security (or something like that) to turn off the
firewall before you can join any Winders(TM) machines to the domain.

I'll be working on it, too, but let me know if you figure anything
out. :)
