I would suggest that you go through the 'Samba by Example' documentation
at www.samba.org - and find an example similar to what you are trying to
accomplish.

Everybody's ldap setup is going to vary and seeing someone else's
machine account is only one very small snapshot into the big picture -
the big picture being the ldap setup in smb.conf, ACL's in slapd.conf,
settings in nsswitch.conf and probably /etc/ldap.conf - the padl version
and the IDEALX setup if that is what you are using to create the entries
in ldap.

The Samba by Example has all those elements in each example (ldap
example) so that the consistency of all the elements is shown.
