Yes, it is.

Trying to add anything else works?

I don't use LAM, but use smbldap-tools and phpldapadmin. In turn to 
saying that the services aren't properly configured (as nothing worked 
and you said that there isnt anything like that in google), I think 
helps begin from the beginning.

Are all services running in the same machine?

You said that you are using Debian right? The package 3.0.26a doesn't 
come with the stable release "Etch", which release are you using? How do 
you configure your apt repositories and install your packages? (if the 
packages related with the problem didn't came from the stable 
repository, helps write its versions). How did you populated your LDAP tree?

One detail. smbldap-tools doesn't use samba to do its job, it connects 
to LDAP directly, so, supposing that you have configured smbldap-tools 
properly, its very unlikely that the problem has anything to do with the 
samba package, as you have noticed that changing versions doesn't solve 
the problem.
