I feel your pain. I have a similar problem where I've been trying to 
regain access to Samba shares. The advice I've been give has had me 
rebuild my entire realm and I still don't have things working.

I don't know if I can help much but Samba has changed a lot over the 
last year. This seems to have made the old account mapping obsolete and 
non-functional. The advice I've been seeing is to use the Active 
Directory users and groups with Windows ACLs to control access.

I don't know if webmin still works - I've never used it. It may not have 
kept up to date with the new changes to Samba.

Anyway, if you can provide some more details about your setup, it would 
probably help. What are the clients running and how are they 
authenticating? Which version of Samba are you using. Is the file server 
a member of a domain? Stuff like that may help people help you.

Good luck.
