I am the author of the Samba-Guide. Frankly, if my documentation does not solve your problem then it is broken and useless! You should not need more documentation than the official Samba documentation. Please help me to understand what is broken.

What else can I check? Well, lots! You will need to be more specific - in fact completely specific about every step you have followed. The Samba-Guide was recently updated using SUSE 9.3 professional - So I know it can work! In the technical discussion in chapter 5 I have detailed how to debug LDAP and NSS_LDAP operation.
