[Samba] problem with samba 3.0 beta

[nitin at netcore.co.in]

Hi!
I am using samba 3.0 beta as a PDC with ldap authentication.
I am able to login to win 98 machine with samba as PDC.
The problem i am facing is samba requires /etc/passwd entry of user in addition
to ldap entry. I am pasting my smb.conf for ref.
Is it possible to use only ldap account so that i do not have to add /etc/passwd
entry.

I have not added ldap entry in /etc/nsswitch.conf file.

please mail a cc at nitin at netcore.co.in.

any help really appreciated.
thanks in advance.
