Problem solved!

Apparently the SID for the domain doesn't matter when there's an LDAP server, as samba reads the sid from the LDAP entry for the domain (it does a search for sambaDomainName=<DOMAIN>).

My problem was rather patheticly simple. Turns out that solaris seperates out the nmbd and smbd process. I had turned on samba (smbd) but not wins (nmbd). I've enabled wins, and everything's fine now - except that I feel dreadfully embarrassed ;)

I am in the process of finishing a server migration (to a new server), and am having problems with samba on the new server. The old server was running samba 3.0.22-r3 on a Gentoo machine, and the new server is running Samba 3.0.25a on a Solaris 10 machine. I have copied the files across OK, I have copied the samba configuration OK, samba runs fine, connects to the ldap backend fine, seems to check passwords fine, and even lets me connect to the file shares just fine.
