I've created both a root and admin account using smbpasswd with the correct password for the admin account (I wasn't clear which account should be used from the samba documentation). But my idmap OU is empty, and to be honest I can't even see any attempts to access the LDAP server from its access logs (excepting when testing using ldapsearch). Any help would be appreciated,

Is that the whole smb.conf?  When Samba is a DC, or a standalone server,
it doesn't use IDMAP for local accounts.  (Something that changed over
the course of the idmap design and implementation)
