Correct me if I'm wrong as I have no experience with ldap setups but AFAIK 
Samba domains are NetBIOS domains which are flat, not hierarchical. If so 
your domain name should be something more like PRODESAN and not 
PRODESAN.COM.BR.

Also you didn't post your smb.conf but I'm curious about the use of 
ads_connect, which seems like you're trying to work with an AD domain instead 
of a NetBIOS (Samba) domain. So I'm wondering if you have something other 
than "security - user" in the PDC's smb.conf and "security - domain" in the 
member servers smb.conf.
