Current from debian woody (2.99+3.0CVS 20020829 I think was, something 
like that, fairly bleeding edge)

OK, now I have:

passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ldap.MYDOMAIN.com
ldap admin dn = "cn=admin,dc=MYDOMAIN,dc=com"
ldap ssl = off
ldap user suffix = "ou=People,dc=MYDOMAIN,dc=com"

and I get the following. I added the user suffix bit because it looked 
like it was just trying to create a dn of "uid=dballing", which 
obviously wouldn't work well, but it looks like it's not finding the 
existing entry (that it should modify, adding the sambaAccount 
objectclass, etc.).

I suspect it's a 'ldap filter' thang , but various things I tried 
failed worse. ;-)
