[Samba] A little help with nss_ldap - User xxx in passdb, but getpwnam() fails!

[Robert Silvia]

I keep getting the following errors when I try to log on to my domain or 
access a share (some how I have no clue I was able to get one computer 
to access the samba domain). It is a standalone PDC, ldap on the same 
computer.

This problem has been killing me for about a week, any help would be 
greatly appreciated

I'm running samba 3.0.9 on redhat 9
stock ldap server that comes with redhat 9
nss_ldap installed from apt (include nss_pam)
Used idealx to do all my prep.

testuser does indeed exist as I can login with him from the one computer 
that I managed to get onot the domain.

I added the user via smbldap-tools.

Which is configured correctly with the linux box SID...


I'm at a complete loss...

Here's the error:

Here's my configuration:


My system auth looks like:

My /etc/ldap.conf is setup as (world readable):
base dc=pds-support,dc=net

nss_base_passwd         dc=pds-support,dc=net?sub

nss_base_group          ou=Groups,dc=pds-support,dc=net?one
ssl no
pam_password md5

and my /etc/nsswitch.conf (world readable)
passwd:     files ldap
shadow:     files ldap
group:      files ldap


I have /etc/ldap.secret
set to world readable atm moment with the password (I plan on changing 
this once I have it working)
