Ok, I still have difficulties with this one.You are completely correct that Samba can do an LDAP lookup to get user and group ID information, but that is not the issue. How do you propose to resolve IDs within the OS if not through NSS?
Why is it necessary for all and every *nix application to be able to get information about machine accounts as well as the obvious actual users? I can see and understand why for the normal users but why machine accounts? Shouldn't that be something that samba quietly looks up and makes no fuss about. Why else would we need to provide a ldap user/group/machine suffix in the smb.conf? This is probably where I got the mistaken notion of separating them out and then it didn't work without modifying the nss configuration.
