Did you follow the information outlined in the chapter "NT4 Migration to
Samba-3" in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf that ships with Samba-3?

If not, what precisely did you do to migrate your user accounts to
Samba-3.0.0?

PS: The documentation has holes that will be fixed before samba-3 is
reeleased.
