Sorry, Geoff, I thought I'd reply to the list as this seems an important issue...

There is a note in the book (and online) that says that you have to create
all these yourself in the case that you are using ldap.  Nowhere does it
make mention of that in the example scripts.  This is how I missed it
first time around.
Does it say it in the TOSHARG book?  I looked again and I can't find any
reference to it in the samba by example book online.
Ok, I lied. I had seen it somewhere...
it is in the Samba-HOWTO-Collection/groupmapping.html#id2537327 paragraph (the note...)


The other really useful thing I found while looking for the above reference is in the Samba-Guide/happy.html#id2536161 where in the note it says that having separate containers for users and computers does not yet work, yet examples appear to use this (hence I got the crazy idea it should just work and it didn't).

This brings me to my last point about the LDAP issue that seemed to bring this thread up:
Why is samba using NSS when it has all the necessary information to do the proper LDAP search itself? This does not appear to make sense.
