Thanks for advice on smb.conf..

Today people who could not access it yesterday can, and some people who 
could access it can't and even one who cannot access it via the ip 
address, so you know what I'll be doing this weekend.

I did not use the samba migration tools so the SIDs are different. I 
used the trust because we could migrate people and machines at leisure 
and without downtime. It has not caused problems (but will be removed 
shortly). We did try theĀ  migration tools but it puked on our ldap.
