i use virtual user, too. but you have to config your distro to use the ldap-db for the user. if you make "getent passwd", your have also to modify your file /etc/nsswitch.conf, it should look like this:
passwd: files ldap
shadow: compat
group: files ldap
maybe help you this document:

if you want to create a user the best way ( in my opinion ) is first to
make the ldap entry without the
objectclass sambaAccount
and than to make smbpasswd -U william, this will append to your
ldap-entry the objectclass sambaAccount with all it's definitions.
Adding the posixAccount stuff didn't make a difference... :-(But it's true that i don't have user accounts for those people, i just want to use virtual users stored in an ldap. If i make a posixAccount entry and i try to add the users using smbpasswd -a , it says that the user is not present in the /etc/passwd file. If i use -U it give the same old error.
