Hi Chris, and all List!

Thanks for helping me. I solve the problem in a "strange way".

I get the smb.conf of another machine that had samba working fine as PDC
and replace my actual conf (but without modify my ldap data), and the clients
joint normally.  So I think...  I'll restore the original smb.conf and
verify line by line
what is the difference between their. But... when I restore the
original file, I could
joint at my domain normally too.  So...

I resolve the problem, but I don't know "how" yet.
I'll reinstall from scratch when I have more time, and then create a
solid doc, about
samba-ldap integration (how to delivery it, not the internals aspects).

thanks again for help,

best regards,
Vinnix
