I'm running Samba with LDAP on SuSE. Users had trouble logging in - finally I just ran db_recover & restarted ldap and samba. It looks like the LDAP database got corrupted somehow because samba couldn't get the LDAP data. Also I created accounts with smbldap-useradd -m -a -B 1 username. Some of the users were just using the same password samba seemed to kick them out. I used pdbedit to tighten down the settings but it didn't seem to work with users of limited computer skills - they locked themselves out of the account with too many password tries. Maybe some of my settings for indexes are not the best...Here are some parts of the logs...
