Not sure if this has a bearing on the problem. From the samba by example web pages whenrefering to ldap: Some Linux systems (Novell SUSE Linux in particular) add entries to the nsswitch.conf file that may cause operational problems with the configuration methods adopted in this book. It is advisable to comment out the entries passwd_compat and group_compat where they are found in this file. I too have this problem. Logins worked ok with earlier versions. I had a setup which worked fine (can't get at the machine at present) that had no nis line present on the initial install, but when I tried setting up another machine the nis line has appeared. From my notes nsswitch.conf looked like this with an earlier version of freebsd and worked ok: passwd: files ldap shadow: files ldap group: files ldap hosts: files dns networks: files shells: files Now without the compat: nis line logins fail.
