1 - this isn't a samba question.

2 - you really didn't read the info at idealx since they had used sub
instead of one in the first 2 items

nss_base_passwd         dc=IDEALX,dc=ORG?sub
nss_base_shadow         dc=IDEALX,dc=ORG?sub
nss_base_group          ou=Groups,dc=IDEALX,dc=ORG?one

3 - obviously biting off ldap and samba 3 at the same time is too much for you to handle at once. You really should just get ldap up and running, authenticating users and then leave it alone. Then you can fool with samba and adjust the samba configurations for your already working LDAP. If you keep adjusting both LDAP and Samba, you are not likely to make them all work.
