you're using alpha23+ right...
i think you need to run the update to populate those structures
see the release notes for a23

if not then the shouldn't be a sambaGroupMapping object...
you did set the ldap admin password with smbpasswd -w as per the docs
right.

try pdbedit -l as a  quick way to check if you're getting stuff out of
ldap

are you binding as "cn=Manager,dc=elucidation" during that search?

i think this should be
passdb backend = ldapsam_nua:ldap://your.ldap.server
guest account = nobody 
but i think it's working because your ldapserver is on localhost...
