[Samba] How to create Computer Account without 'hands'?

[Eddie Lania]

Hi,

If you are using samba compiled with ldap support:

In smb.conf:
add user script = {prefix}/smbldap-useradd.pl -g {computers-group} -w %u

And substitute {prefix} with the full path to smbldap-useradd.pl
And substitute {computers-group} with the gid number of the group in
/etc/group where you want the domain computers to be a member off.

That should make it work.

Greetings,

Eddie.
