I was following the instructions on the following site.

http://www.howtoforge.com/openldap-samba-domain-controller-ubuntu7.10-p2

When I ran the command:
sudo smbldap-populate -u 30000 -g 30000,
but then I got this error.
Please provide a password for the domain root:
/usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd: user root doesn't exist.

I tried to follow the suggestions provided here

but that did not solve my problem. What could be my problem.
