AFAIK, slapd shouldn't have anything to do with Samba -- it's its own daemon
and uses the standard LDAP ports for communication (port 389 to be exact),
unless the LDAP database is on a mounted Samba share. Is that the case?

Samba only opens one port for listening on the machine it's running on. An
exact replica of your command 'lsof |grep LISTEN' on my working samba system
results in exactly the same line. smbd is the only thing listening.

Just to make sure, might want to use smbclient to check the status of the
Samba server.

Also, slapd supports a monitoring interface -- might want to take a look at
the information returned by it just to make sure it's working properly. The
exact command would be "ldapsearch -s base -b cn=3Dmonitor 'objectclass=3D*=
'"
