It's always better to never trust anything one read, just test it and 
try to figureout how it really works.  I used both, the idealx howto and 
the samba-3 by example.  Well, I also used some info from the samba-3 howto.

Neither, use this:

nss_base_passwd dc=wbcoll,dc=edu?sub
nss_base_shadow dc=wbcoll,dc=edu?sub
nss_base_group  ou=Groups,dc=wbcoll,dc=edu?one

Look at the sub, it tells the system to descend to all the sub-objects it may have.
