Nope.  I'm running Suse 10.3-64 on an amd.  By the way, I love this 
system.   45watt BE-2350, low power 1 Terabyte drive,  running 2 Vmware 
machines and all the energy consumed is 49watts using powernow-k8 and 
ondemand frequency control with 80+ power supply and it yields 40MB/s 
samba file transfers on Gigabyte eth.

This may not be it.  But I found nagging little inconsistencies until I 
got the new idmap syntax down perfect for my environment.  This started 
in 3.0.25 according to the docs.  Your smb.conf relies on the defaults 
which would translate out this way, again according to the docs - I use 
a different idmap backend.

[global]

	    idmap domains = MICROKEY
	    idmap config MICROKEY:default = yes
	    idmap config MICROKEY:backend = tdb
	    idmap config MICROKEY:range   = 10000 - 20000

	    idmap alloc backend = tdb
	    idmap alloc config:range = 10000 - 20000

I also didn't see any "add user" script.  So if all your users are added 
ahead of time, maybe you should consider using a different backend, like 
idmap_rid or idmap_nss.  I use the idmap_ad backend myself.

Learn something every day.  I didn't know one could use valid users = 
realm\\user syntax, but it works.
