[Samba] no mapping between account names and security ids was done

[Chris Mason]

I use a openLDAP database for authentication on my Redhat 7.2 server. The
domain is "HOME". I have had no problem adding trust accounts and
authenticating against it.
Today I had to change the name of my Win2K workstation from poseiden to
poseiden1 for compatibility with a package I am testing. Once I changed it
and put in a new trust account, I could not rejoin the domain.
I gave up and changed the name back. As I had deleted the trust account for
poseiden, I made a new one with
 smbldap-useradd -w poseiden
I still cannot get the machine to join the domain, I get 

 no mapping between account names and security ids was done

when I try.
