[Samba] adding computer in domain with user other than root

[Jean-Rene Cormier]

I just reformatted a computer and I joined it with my regular username
which doesn't have uid=0 and is not mapped to root either. I thought
that maybe it was because the machine account was already in LDAP so I
booted up another Windows in VMWare and removed it from the domain and
changed the computer name to one that wasn't already in LDAP and I was
able to join it with the same username. I'm using the "domain admin
group" and it seems to be working fine. Running on Samba 2.2.8a btw.
