I am still a neophyte at Samba 3 but I don't think that your 'domain
master = 192.168.40.250' is a valid option. Obviously, there is another
box that is the domain master...is that machine Linux or Windows? Are
you aware that you cannot run Linux as a BDC to a Windows PDC?  Are you
sure that you can run LDAP on this machine? Where is the PDC, is it
running LDAP too and on this machine, it is a slave LDAP server?

It doesn't seem as though you have gotten through some of the important
points covered in the Samba 3 How-TO
