[SLUG] LDAP/SAMBA

I'm messing around with Samba and LDAP and having some issues.

The LDAP server is up and running. I can query it, and all of the proper
entries exist in the directory. phpLDAPadmin works just fine.

I am trying to get Samba to use LDAP for authentication, and am using
most of the stock configuration that comes with the Gentoo config files.
Obviously I've changed the important bits to fit my server.

When I attempt to start samba, I get the following output in log.smbd :

[2006/01/13 11:50:46, 0] smbd/server.c:main(798)
  smbd version 3.0.14a started.
  Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2004
[2006/01/13 11:50:46, 0] param/loadparm.c:map_parameter(2462)
  Unknown parameter encountered: "ldap port"
[2006/01/13 11:50:46, 0] param/loadparm.c:lp_do_parameter(3144)
  Ignoring unknown parameter "ldap port"
[2006/01/13 11:50:46, 0] param/loadparm.c:map_parameter(2462)
  Unknown parameter encountered: "ldap server"
[2006/01/13 11:50:46, 0] param/loadparm.c:lp_do_parameter(3144)
  Ignoring unknown parameter "ldap server"

These fields were in the config files when I built samba. I have filled
them out with the proper information. The hostname it is trying to
contact are in DNS and resolve properly.

I find myself wondering if anyone with experience in this area might
have some idea. For the moment, I'm stumped, but still looking. If I
find something I'll let yall know what I find and what the fix was, but
experienced help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if you
need more information.
