[Samba] NT Samba 3.0 Migration -- Machine Accout Disable

[Robert H.B. Netzer]

I had the same problem, and found that there was a bug fix between
3.0.2 and 3.0.2a that corrected this.  All you need to do is to re-build
pdbedit with the 3.0.2a fix for pdb_interface.c and you should be able
to remove the disabled flag.  If you are running Samba
3.0.2, here is the diff which you need for that file:
