I had a similar problem on 11.4 after a rebuild. Try turning off apparmor.

That worked for me.

Thank you Stuart. I already did - and believe me: Every new install of openSuSE here at my place will have turned of AppArmor in the future. It is just a pain in the a.. not only for OpenLDAP.

I found this behavior yesterday - it took me 3 hours or so to find out that smbd won't start when this mess was switched on. But smbd is started and working.

I missed something in user mapping between samba and ldap, i guess.

Search goes on.
