The global catalog uses port 3268/tcp, which wasn't listed in your 
iptables command list.

I added it to the Wiki page, too.



Wether something else is missing, you can see, if you check on which 
ports the Samba daemons are listening:

# netstat -taunp | egrep "tcp.*LISTEN|udp" | grep "samba|smbd"


Regards,
Marc
