Hi !
I'm running a samba domain controler under rhel 5. It's version 
3.0.33-3.7.el5.
I've also installed a ldap server to store users and groups and so on.
When I try a pdbedit -v david, I get the following :

Unix username:        david
NT username:          david
Account Flags:        [U          ]
User SID:             S-1-5-21-215069222-2822928016-2390355089-1016
Finding user david
Trying _Get_Pwnam(), username as lowercase is david
Get_Pwnam_internals did find user [david]!
smbldap_search_ext: base => [ou=Groups,ou=ia27,dc=ac-rouen,dc=fr], filter => 
[(&(objectClass=sambaGroupMapping)(gidNumber=666))], scope => [2]

The weird thing is ldapsam_getsampwsid: Unable to locate SID

I think I made a mistake when creating both unix groups and samba groups.
Here is how the unix group is defined :

dn: cn=cdti,ou=Group,BASEDN
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: top
cn: cdti
userPassword: {crypt}x
gidNumber: 666

Here is how the samba group is defined :

dn: cn=CDTI,ou=Groups,BASEDN
objectClass: top
objectClass: posixGroup
objectClass: sambaGroupMapping
cn: CDTI

memberUid: david
gidNumber: 666
sambaSID: S-1-5-21-215069222-2822928016-2390355089-666

And here is what the user's definition :

dn: uid=david,ou=SambaUsers,BASEDN
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: shadowAccount

Of course, I've obfuscated what I found that has not point with my problem !

I think that the problem comes from the groups, both the unix one and the 
samba one, but I don't know how to fix it.
If anyone could tell me what I could to to correct this, that would be great !
I hope I've given enough informations, but if you think I should give more, 
fell free to ask. I'd really like to get rid of this anoying message.
Thanks in advance !
