What version of Samba are you using ?
I ask this because i cannot find a version of the __init.py__ you refer
to that has that line in the position you say it is (line 2460), it is
near the top.

Oh we have bugs much older than that ;-)
However it looks like you are correct, there is code to create the
'dns-host' user, even if it may be incorrect, there is code to create
the dnsadmins group, but there doesn't seem to be code to add the user
to the group.
