[Gerald Carter]

Given the context of you questions, they appear to more related
to PADL's pam_ldap module.  I suggest you repost there.

this is hardcoded in the samba.schema file.

This has nothing to do with Samba, your are now specifying that
the pam_ldap module use the uid attribute for logins.

Do you have encrypted passwords enabled in smb.conf?

In your LDIF except you have "homeDirectory: /homes/teddy" but just 
referred to /home/ted ????
