I don't believe it's the default (smbpassdb is) and you don't cover the passdb = tdbsam setting. Why don’t you actually cover the tdbsam part of the setup?

I have Samba up and working but need a tweak for my environment ( a high school). Using your setup I am able to connect to an iMac client (and an XP) - BUT only if I have an identical user account / passwd on the server AND the clients. I've seen this behavior on Samba before. What I need it to be able to log into the iMac as Student (generic student login) but then log into the my account on the Linux/Samba server .... say the Tommy account with its unique passwd. How can I break or circumvent this account/passwd linkage ? If I try to login to a different account on the Linux/Samba server (mac or PC) I get an error. Thanks for your help !!!
