[Samba] smb.conf works for 3.4.0; doesn't work for 3.4.7

Some may remember all my issues trying to get one Samba server to mount
shares from another Samba server. Well, I decided to completely reformat
my laptop with Ubuntu 10.04, and start over (leaving the other Samba
server at Ubuntu 9.10)

(to recap - I have a Win2003 AD (not R2), with SFU installed)

I took the smb.conf from the 9.10 server (running 3.4.0) and loaded it
on the Ubuntu 10.04 laptop, which is running 3.4.7. The only editing I
did was to remove the share definitions, which don't exist on the laptop
(no shares defined at all). Also copied the krb5.conf, to configure
Kerberos.  Cleared the /var/lib/samba, /var/cache/samba, /var/log/samba
directories. Even tho Ubuntu 10.04 seems to have the /etc/pam.d files
already configured for samba, I copied over the common-account,
common-auth, common-password, common-session files from the 9.10 server
to the 10.04 server. Did the same with the nsswitch.conf file.

Figured I should get identical results, right? HA! :-(

Got a ticket.
Joined the domain. It gave me an error message, something about the
client not existing in the Kerberos database. It worked, tho, as the
computer account did appear in AD.

wbinfo -t works.
wbinfo -u works.
wbinfo -g works.
If I use sudo, then wbinfo -a DOMAIN+user works. (I used "+" as a delimiter)

Getent passwd fails.
Getent group fails.

I am seeing this, in log.winbind on the 10.04 server:

[2010/05/07 23:16:59,  1] winbindd/winbindd_user.c:97(winbindd_fill_pwent)
  error getting user id for sid S-1-5-21-2780757143-49591276-3462498634-500

[2010/05/07 23:16:59,  1] winbindd/idmap_ad.c:651(idmap_ad_sids_to_unixids)
  Could not get unix ID

and repeating, for all domain users.

I'm pretty much ready to just give up, and use the Windows installed on
this laptop. That one has no problem accessing shares from the Samba
server, or the Windows stations on the LAN.

Anyone? Please. :-)
