Michael. Thanks for your comments. Getting there slowly but surely. Have

wbinfo -i steve2
CACTUS\steve2:*:3000000:100::/home/CACTUS/steve2:/bin/bash

Optimistically:
getent passwd steve2
_nothing_!
But nslcd-user can't read the ticket.
So:
chmod 0644 /tmp/

Yes. I should have copied it from the terminal rather than type it.

I did this:

  samba-tool user add nslcd-service
New Password:
User 'nslcd-service' created successfully
kinit nslcd-service
Password for nslcd-service at SITE:
Warning: Your password will expire in 41 days on Fri Mar  2 13:47:22 2012
hh3:/tmp # chown nslcd-user:nslcd-user krb5cc_0
  rcnslcd restart
redirecting to systemctl
hh3:/tmp # getent passwd steve2
steve2:x:3000000:100:steve2:/home/CACTUS/steve2:/bin/bash

Seems to work OK.

I know I should use a keytab, then presumably I'd not need to keep 
refreshing the ticket using k5start. I really would like like to find 
out how to do that. I've tried before. Thinking out loud, maybe this:

with getent passwd, samba gives this:
ldb_wrap open of secrets.ldb
Kerberos: TGS-REQ nslcd-service at SITE from ipv4:192.168.1.3:50765 for 
ldap/hh3.site at SITE [canonicalize, renewable]

I tried removing /tmp/krbcc_0 and doing this:

hh3:/tmp # samba tool spn add ldap/hh3.site nslcd-service
hh3:/tmp # samba-tool domain exportkeytab /etc/ldap.keytab 
--principal=ldap/hh3.site
hh3:/tmp # chown nslcd-user:nslcd-user /etc/ldap.keytab

But:
Jan 20 14:16:15 hh3 nslcd[3575]: GSSAPI Error: Unspecified GSS failure.  
Minor code may provide more information (Credentials cache file 
'/tmp/krb5cc_0' not found)

So the next qn. would be how do I tell nslcd to look in the keytab 
rather than the cache file?

Or maybe go the k5start way. Don't know!

Yes. I think this is it: ldap/hh3.site at SITE Pls see samba output above.

Actually, kinit nslcd-service produced a file with the same name.

Thanks again.
