	When Samba connects to an ldap server that servermay be down or unreachable. To prevent Samba from hanging whilst
	waiting for the connection this parameter specifies in seconds how long Samba should wait before failing the 
	connect. The default is to only wait fifteen seconds for the ldap server to respond to the connect request.
