My guess is that you have problems with nss_ldap, which is sometimes
(and sometimes not) resolving the userids. Take a sniff and look
closely at the ldap traffic.
You can reduce the load on the LDAP server by setting
'ldapsam:trusted=yes', but read up the comments and documentation of
this smb.conf parameter, as every user you want to have Samba use
(including the guest account) must be in LDAP for both nss (posix) and
Samba parts.
