Users may be displayed because through query to the PDC.

If your nsswitch works properly, then I think we ought to look into your 
smb.conf. Could you please post the global part? Are you using 
security=user or security=domain?

What do you get with pdbedit -L -v ?

By the way, samba4 rocks and it is much easier to setup. You should try it.

Cheers,

Denis

>> I am struggling around with Windows ACLs and cannot find a solution nor how to troubleshoot that. I have two samba3 hosts. Hostname "donald" is my domain controller with samba 3.x + OpenLDAP server running. Hostname "pluto" is my other samba 3.x server which was joined to my domain. I use LDAP for my users+groups. I dont have winbind on my machines. On hostname "pluto" I have a share in smb.conf which says:

>> On a windows client I am right-clicking on \\pluto\free4all\subdir and choose the "Security" tab. I see a user called "Everyone" and a user without username, but only SID number. The SID is S-1-5-21-blablabla-1234567-blabla-500.  I manually checked this SID at my LDAP database. Funnily I have two users with this same SID, one is called "root" and the is called "admin". Weird, but not important imho at this point.
