My system runs on Suse 8.2, and for now uses /etc/passwd file for local login since I could not configure ldap login at installation time.
I have to admit samba 3.0.0. takes a lot longer to get to work (at least with ldap backend) than the 2.2.x versions. I am not an unexperienced user, but I keep running in to problems.
Also, there are numerous sources (how-to's etc) to be found on the www, all telling different stories. Especially the LDAP configuration seems to be, at least in my case, the cause of trouble..
Thanks,
Bart.

If this solved you problem is sounds like your not really authenticating to LDAP and just using the smbpassdb file, although it can read from LDAP it may not be using it for Authentication.
Verify that you are using LDAP for authentication, you can run Authconfig in redhat, otherwise you'll have to check you PAM. To test simply you can try to login with your user Bart at the console( verify that the account isn't in /etc/password).
Is the Bart account is the first user you created SID xxxxx3000 this is the default first user, if all your accounts have this same sid they will not authenticate. Points to an issue with the script smbldap-useradd.pl not incrementing the sid, may also point to the above PAM problem.

Thanks, problem solved. But I am still confused. Why are those password tools delivered with Samba, if they are not useful.. I saw in the LDAP that smbpasswd uses a SMD5 encryption for the password; the smbldap-passwd tools adds them using SSHA. No wonder it did not work.
Thanks again.

Add them with smbpasswd. The passwords in LDAP is simply not the password that the user is sending.
