More info: I tried deleting ou=corp (after making a backup of course) and 
still no dice.  As soon as I put back ou=corp and make the baseDN in smb.conf 
ou=corp, everything works.  If I take all the entries under ou=corp and copy 
them one level up, I can't authenticate to Samba anymore.  It doesn't make 
any sense.
