did you tell samba to connect to ldap? you'll need to run smbpasswd -w
ldappasswdhere
and have in your smb.conf something like this:
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://gomer.mdah.state.ms.us
ldap suffix = dc=gomer,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us
ldap machine suffix = ou=People
ldap user suffix = ou=People
ldap group suffix = ou=Group
ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap
ldap admin dn = cn=Manager,dc=gomer,dc=mdah,dc=state,dc=ms,dc=us
idmap backend = ldap:ldap://gomer.mdah.state.ms.us
idmap uid = 10000-20000
idmap gid = 10000-20000
