well you can use nss_ldap if you want to store everything in the ldap
db...
another option in samba3 is ldapsam_nua (non unix account)
in which machine accounts can be stored in ldap without having a unix
account.
in samba2 the machine account must exist in both the samba password
backend (ldap in your case) and the unix password database (sounds like
/etc/passwd in your case).

the idealx tools expect you to be using nss_ldap i think...
so you may have to write your own script to add the machine account to
both the ldap store and the unix password db.
