[Samba] wrong file owner name in shares

hi to everyone,

I've tried yesterday to migrate from an NT4 server to a Samba3 server,
but without success. I was using tdbsam for storing the accounts.
Unfortunately it didn't work as expected and so, I put everything as
it was before.

All works fine: shares, authentication (done through winbind) and
printers. The only snag is that on the shares provided by Samba3,
there are some (apparently) random displayed username as file owner.
On the filesystem, everything is set fine and the share work as
expected in relation to the permissions set. But on the Security view
of the Properties dialog there are simply some user listed, e.g. ldap,
www, bin etc.

Can somebody explain me what happens?

Best regards,
Daniel

p.s.: here is a snippet of my smb.conf
