You are right, our "test" LDAP DIT is a little messy, and is not 
organized like our production directories at the moment.  But it should 
work.  And yes our users and groups are under the "ldap suffix" in the DIT.

Here is an updated smb.conf file that has what I believe are the correct 
options:

[global]
        workgroup = BTIWG1
        netbios name = FS1V
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        allow trusted domains = No
        log level = 1
        guest account = nobody
        map to guest = Bad User
        passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ce.btinet.net
        ldap admin dn = uid=smbadmin,ou=People,o=btidemo.net,o=usergroups
        ldap suffix = ou=People,o=admins,o=usergroups

smbd still dies immediately with the errors:

  smbd version 3.0.14a started.
