samba-tng 1.8 woes..

[Omar Siam]

Samba-tng does some wired things. One is that all the programs try to
connect to port 445 which is normally not in use. Another thing is that you
can't say rpcclient -S. as non-root for security-reasons use rpcclient -S
YourServersName instead as non-root. An don't be bothered to much about
those warnings. If you can change/display things it works. And the last
thing: You neither can delete accounts using rpcclient/samedit nor do they
recognize that an account already exists. They simply fail to (re)create it.
Thats why you couldn't add the machines account but you could join.
