Hi Ross,
I used authconfig to configure the box.  Here are the configs:

cat /etc/nsswitch.conf | grep -v \#
passwd:     files ldap

networks:   files
protocols:  files ldap
rpc:        files
services:   files ldap
netgroup:   files ldap
publickey:  nisplus
automount:  files ldap
aliases:    files nisplus

cat /etc/pam.d/system-auth
#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
auth        required      pam_env.so
auth        sufficient    pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass

Subject: [CentOS] help with samba and ldap on centos 5

Hi everyone; I'm having some trouble with samba on a centos 5 
box; the 
box has been configured to authenticate against an ldap server via 
authconfig....authentication for normal use (console, ssh) works 
great....I'm having some trouble with samba using single ldap 
users or 
local users....It's rather weird, shares in which access restrictions 
are based upon ldap groups are working fine, getent group shows local 
and ldap groups, however attempting to assign access to a share for 
either a single ldap user or a local user doesn't work, and 
produces the 
following error when trying to hit the share:
smb_pam_passcheck: PAM: smb_pam_auth failed - Rejecting User myuser1 !

For local users, I've added local os accounts as well as 
accounts in the 
samba database with smbpasswd
Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
    

Did you use authconfig to configure ldap auth or did you manually edit
the PAM database?

Can you post a copy of your /etc/sysconfig/authconfig,
/etc/pam.d/system-auth, and a copy of your /etc/nsswitch.conf?
