Yes, I did. In some other thread someone mentioned that it is mandatory to put 
all users and machines accounts to ou=People due to some weird samba design 
decision. However, it isn't mentioned in any howto, neither official nor 
idealx's, and samba doesn't complain about it in any way either. Too 
bad...for me.
