Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-docs

In https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/samba-ldap.html section 4 reads:

====
Edit the generated /tmp/ldif_output/cn=config/cn=schema/cn={12}samba.ldif file, changing the following attributes:
  dn: cn=samba,cn=schema,cn=config
  ...
  cn: samba
====

That;s confusing and unclear. It should read:

====
Edit the generated /tmp/ldif_output/cn=config/cn=schema/cn={12}samba.ldif file, changing the following attributes at the top of the file:

  dn: cn={XX}samba,cn=schema,cn=config
  ...
  cn: {XX}samba

by removing {XX} to...

  dn: cn=samba,cn=schema,cn=config
  ...
  cn: samba

====

dpkg-reconfigure needs to be fixed so it worked as before. OpenLDAP is a critical piece of software that should be straight forward to get up.

Please do not assign yourself to a bug unless you are actively working on resolving the issue. Also, please do not change Status without giving a reason for the change.

Resetting to New.
