So, you have configured a 'strange' setup, specifically overriding how
the Samba team constructs and tests the system, then wonder why it
breaks?

Tools like smbclient need to know if Samba is acting as a PDC - because
the name of the 'sam' is only the workgroup name for the PDC, otherwise,
it's the name of the machine.  (individual machines may each have
accounts in LDAP servers, for their own 'local' accounts, should you
wish to configure it this way.)
