samba - Jul 2009 - SAMBA 3.0.3x and Sun Java One Directory Server 5.2 LDAP authentication

Is there a link or document that gives a good introduction to using Sun Java
One Directory Server 5.2 for LDAP authentication with SAMBA on Solaris 10?
We have the schema loaded and have a functioning LDAP server with POSIX
attributes.  How does one specify LDAP is the backend database to use for
SAMBA authentication?  What attributes are necessary and which are not
necessary for SAMBA use?

Thank you,
Rob M

We're interested in this as well.  Please be sure to post
publicly.

Breaking it down more specifically, what values are needed for LDAP
authentication in SAMBA, in the smb.conf file?  I have the following set in
/etc/sfw/smb.conf:

# Backend to store user information in. New installations should
# use either tdbsam or ldapsam. smbpasswd is available for backwards
# compatibility. tdbsam requires no further configuration.
  passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://xxx.xx.x.x:xxx
  ldap admin dn = ??=??,?=??,?=??
  ldap group suffix = ou=groups
  ldap user suffix = ou=people
  ldap suffix = ?=??,?=??
  ldap server = xxx.xx.x.xx
  ldap port = 389
#  ldap ssl = no
   domain logons = no

The x's and ?'s are to mask the real IP addresses and sensitive LDAP
information.  The smb.conf worked great when using /etc/passwd as the
authentication database.

Here's a bit from the SAMBA log.smbd log file, the same message repeated 15
times:

smbd/server.c:(1057)
  ERROR: failed to setup guest info.
