samba - Jan 2005 - SAMBA + OPENLDAP - Getent - Please help :)

I have setup a SAMBA + OPENLDAP server following Samba-3 By Example, but I have
run into several problems. All the tests described in the Chapter 6 such as
pdbedit -Lv, slapcat, and ldapsearch -x -b give the desired results. But, getent
can't read passwd or group information from ldap backend. I have done my
best to solve the problem, but it just doesn't work. I have compiled the
nss_ldap from Idealx and configured the /etc/ldap.conf as well as nsswitch.conf
according to the instructions, but without any success.
May someone please point me, how to troubleshoot this issue?
Thank you.
