You shouldn't need to add users via smbpasswd on the linux server. Be sure to successfully do a "net join -S" to your OD server from the samba server, and that a computer record is successfully created in Workgroup Manager for the linux server. This would definitely cause some failed logins. Also be sure the time on your linux server, client computer, and OD server are all syncronized if you are using kerberos authentication. Hope that helps Kyle! Hi Kyle, thanks.

Did you have to still add users via 'smbpasswd' on the linux server in order for them to connect? I ask because I have pretty much the same setup (OSX10.6 OD and CentOS5.5) and when I attempt to connect I see "session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" via smbclient.
