OK, so you just have 'dc=ventu' and everything is stored in there ? well 
it is your domain, but I wouldn't have set it up like that even with 
only 3 PCs and 5 users, to be honest, I wouldn't have bothered with a 
domain I would have gone with a workgroup, but hey as I said, it's your 
domain.

No it isnt, the 127.0.0.1 == localhost I will give you, but:

passdb backend = ldapsam
idmap config * : backend=ldap:ldap://localhost

is not:
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1
or
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://localhost

What I would suggest, given your domain is so small, search the internet 
for a fairly recent PDC howto and start again, but this time, please do 
it right.
