I figured out what my problem was. It was with nss_ldap not authenticating off of ldap. I didn't notice it before because I had all the same users etc in the local file as I did in ldap. After adding some more users to ldap and running "getent passwd", I realized they weren't showing up. I looked around and tried to turn on debugging but it didn't work. I then realized it obviously wasn't reading the ldap.conf under my /etc/openldap directory. I linked that conf to /etc and voila everything works! Something to keep in mind for people seeing what I was seeing.

I have spent days now trying to debug why I can not add machines to the domain. I am using samba 3.0.23c with an openldap backend. I can authenticate fine using smbclient with the administrator account but when I go to add a machine it fails. I have checked the debug logs and know what is happening, I am just not sure why or how to fix it. I am using the idealx scripts to add machines. It adds the machine to ldap but does not add any of the necessary samba attributes. I thought the machine was supposed to do this now and not the scripts. Is this correct? If so I am seeing one thing in the log for the machine that I think may have something to do with it. It says "secrets_fetch failed!" just before the check for the machine and failing. What does this mean and is this a problem? As you can see the administrator authenticates fine. When it fails the check for the machine account with NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER it is searching the ldap for "(&(uid=xplaptop$)(objectClass=sambaSamAccount))" but the entry created does not contain any "samba*" entries like it should. I am curious to know if the secrets check failing is the machine trying to add that stuff to ldap? I have read the how to a few times and don't see anything I missed, but obviously I have something amiss here. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as I have spent many many hours trying to find out why this is happening.
