ERROR MESSAGE AND HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
Samba PDC+OpenLDAP is one of the longest tutorial. These are maybe a typo or incomplete configuration, although I’ve checked and proof read for the typo. Please let me know if you found something problem while trying the tutorial. I’ll be really appreciate to the suggestion to make it as usable as it should be.
Following are some error messages that might be found when doing the configuration. The collection came from my notes while installing and configuring Samba PDC+OpenLDAP for the first time.

WARNING: Your ‘passdb backend’ configuration includes multiple backends. This
is deprecated since Samba 3.0.23. Please check WHATSNEW.txt or the section ‘Passdb
Changes’ from the ChangeNotes as part of the Samba HOWTO collection. Only the first
backend (ldapsam:”ldap://server.vavai.net”) is used. The rest is ignored.

If you have another error message, let’s discuss it on comment form. I’ll be glad to add the list of error message to help anyone implementing Samba PDC+OpenLDAP on openSUSE sucessfully.
Note : Forgive me for any misspelling and/or grammar.

When I run smbclient -L localhost -N I am getting the error “WARNING: The “printer admin” option is deprecated
Connection to localhost failed (Error NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED)”
The printer admin issue is ok but the connection to localhost is stopping samba from running. I have modified my /etc/hosts file as recommended but that does nothing. Samba will simply not start when “passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1″ is used.
