[Samba] smbpasswd database is corrupt!

I added myself into OpenLDAP and deleted my user account from
/etc/passwd. Now samba complains in the log file:

Jan 25 10:17:56 roark smbd[2767]: build_sam_account: smbpasswd
database is corrupt! username awilliam with uid 511 is not in unix
passwd database!

however, I'm resolving my awilliam with nss_ldap, so I can ssh and su -l
awilliam fine. so shouldn't samba be able to get the user awilliam w/
uid 511 out of ldap via nss_ldap instead of looking for it directly in
/etc/passwd?

Just taking a stab at this but did you modify nsswitch.conf to look in the
LDAP server. I believe this is where you would set it to look for
authentication info other than "files"

i did, otherwise I wouldn't be able to ssh in and su -l to awilliam.

[root@roark ldap]# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf |grep ldap
passwd: files ldap
shadow: files ldap
group: files ldap
protocols: files ldap
services: files ldap
netgroup: files ldap
automount: files ldap
