samba - Mar 2004 - getpwnam() fails!

All Samba domain.
OS FreeBSD 5.2.1
ldap set up with working replication

ldap slave        ldap master        ldap slave
192.168.4.0-------192.168.1.0--------192.168.3.0
BDC-1             PDC                BDC-2

PDC and BDC-2 are fine but on BDC-1 I get the following errors:

- id(1) only return values for system password database users
- machine logs indicates a problem with getpwnam():


[2004/03/24 22:59:43, 1, pid=68224, effective(0, 0), real(0, 0)] 
auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_sam(821)
   User Guest in passdb, but getpwnam() fails!

In this situation of course nothing works properly at the BDC-1 site.

I really tried to make configuration identical on both BDC's but 
apparently I did something wrong and I'm tearing my hair trying to 
figure it out.

Anybody?

Running samba 2.2.7a-8.9.0 on RedHat 9.0 system. It is our fileserver. 
Going to upgrade to samba 3 and I wanted to make sure nothing is going to 
break. Our smb.conf for samba 2.2.7a is very straightforward. No PDC or 
anything like that. domain master = no. password server is our NT4 domain 
controller. So I'm thinking it should be an easy take. I've checked the 
smb.conf man pages for samba 3 and nothing in our smb.conf is depricated 
or going to cause a problem, so I think.

So here is the plan:
Save the smb.conf. rpm -e the samba 2 stuff. Then rpm -i the 
samba-3.0.2a-1 rh9.i386.rpm from samba.org. Put the smb.conf back in 
place, and then we are happy. Right? Maybe samba 3.0.2a needs some other 
rpms, which is no problem I can install them at that point.

Am I missing anything, or is this a simple thing?

Thanks!

Misspelled nsswitch.conf. Grrr...
