I had the same problem 2 weeks ago, and this is really a braincracking. http://www.mail-archive.com/samba@lists.samba.org/msg99586.html
I solved it using smbldap-configure.pl script and making an smbldap-populate as is explained in ubuntu 8.10 documentation. Don't ask me why but it seems that smbldap wasn't working properly with hand configuration. I read about 2 weeks and lot of manuals and howto's, I recommend you to do the same, smbldap-configure. I also use LAM and adding machines at hand worked perfectly. I think that there was a problem with pdbedit and smbldap-tools tools auth. Pdbedit is who adds samba attributes to machine accounts once they are created, and it's called, I think, with smbldap. Take a look at your logs if you want, but smbldap-configure is the easiest an fastest solution. 2009/3/30 Chris St. Pierre <stpie...@nebrwesleyan.edu> > On Mon, 30 Mar 2009, John Drescher wrote: > > I have had this on and off.
