if i run ldapsearch -x -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts, it connects fine and shows me stuff. slapd is configured to accept ssl connections too, smbldap-populate is not configured for it. Anyone know how to fix this?

i seem to have fixed that problem but now i can't seem to add users with smbldap-useradd. If i run smbldap-useradd -m testuser1 i get the following:

Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/bin//smbldap_tools.pm line 241.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin//smbldap_tools.pm line 241.
Error looking for next uid at /usr/bin//smbldap_tools.pm line 993.

anyone how to fix this?
