I have a Samba 3.0 PDC using LDAP as it's password database backend, but I can't get a user to log on to a Win2k machine on the domain. In the log file for the PC (on the Samba machine), I see that the user is found in the LDAP backend but that getpwnam failed. The username does not exist on the Linux machine in any form.
Samba *requires* that the username exist on the server, via nsswtich, as a normal user. You cannot have users in Samba which are not in /etc/passwd or it's nsswitch'ed equivalent (nss_ldap etc).
