Hi, i know this problem, is not samba but ldap do you have nscd installed?
last weekend i had a similar problem, after a /etc/init.d/samba restart my samba produced errors. i had to restarted samba again, restarted ldap still no go. i rebooted the complete server, and... no samba. i removed nscd for the server, stopped samba and ldap i reset the Administrator password with smbpasswd -w and first started ldap, then started samba again. then it was working gain. i think its ldap generating the logon problems, but im not sure.
