Aha, the man pages contain the wisdom. The "secret" is
created when the machine is added to the domain.
I see what you are saying in regards to the samba
server does not seem to be joined to the domain (even
though it shows up as a domain member in MS Server
Manager and getent works fine). Do you think i should
remove the machine from the domain using server manager
and try re-adding it?
Thanks again,
