issue is with the system itself, not with samba. so basically you can 
use any container for machines as long as your system is able to find it.

if you're using pam_ldap from padl, just put a comment on

...
base dc=example,dc=com
scope sub
#nss_base_passwd        ou=People,dc=example,dc=com?one
#nss_base_shadow        ou=People,dc=example,dc=com?one
nss_base_group          ou=Group,dc=example,dc=com?one
..


or if from server you can do :

[root at barbie root]# id raptor$
uid=10096(raptor$) gid=2005(myws) groups=2005(myws)

then samba will satisfied.
