Hi again,

    It seems that nscd's cache was supporting my claims. Of course it
was only for a short period. Here are a few corrections on what I'm
experiencing:

    On /etc/nsswitch.conf there is a line containing 'group: files
ldap'. smb does NOT start correctly with this setting. If I remove the
ldap entry from that specific line, smb binds itself to the required
ports but, when someone tries to access the specif share, an error "the
group name could not be found" appears.

    ( I'm using LDAP client as authentication source ) I'm assuming
there is a problem with samba-3.2.x and the ldap/pam configuration on my
machine. I was able to test it on another openSUSE 11.0 x86_64 on the
network and, the behavior is the same. For now, I'm disabling
samba-server :( as I need to authenticate myself...

    Before I write a BUG report on openSUSE Bugzilla:
    - Can anyone corroborate this "so mentioned" bug of samba-3.2.x not
starting with an openldap authentication scheme ?
    - Can anyone claim success on installing a samba server along with
openldap authentication ?

    I also find it strange that I'm the only one experiencing this
problem. It is not a usual setup but, I thinks it is also not so rare...

Thanks again for your help,
