[Samba] RE: help

[McCarthy, Rae]

	How should the NT admin add the machine (samba server) and how is
the password generated? 

	I read something about when a NT domain admin uses the Server
Manager for Domains to add a client machine into a domain, he or she really
creates a client machine account in the PDC SAM database.  The name of the
this account is the NETBIOS name of the client machine being added, in
uppercase with a dollar sign ($) appended.  These machine accounts are not
normally seen the standard NT account management tool, User Manager for
Domains, but they are vital to the workings of the NT domain security
system.  

Thank You,
