I still get different uid/gid numbers between the servers with wbinfo, even for accounts such as mine (dhopkins) that have been active for years (previous ldap+samba authentication) The smb.conf for the second server is:

I am using nss-pam-ldapd with nslcd and nscd on my linux LTSP servers and the linux samba4/samba3 file servers but apparently I had a mistaken impression that I shouldn't run these on the domain controllers. I will add them. Finally, for the names, I can use lower case but our prior account naming convention was using the format given and this is the format of many names in the existing ldap database that was used via classicupgrade to provision samba4. If it will cause issues, I'll have to find a way to resolve it.

Hi, could you please post the smb.conf from both the RHEL5.9 & Ubuntu 
12.04 fileservers
