[Samba] possible problem adding machine accounts using smbpasswd/pdbedit in samba3.0b3?

[Andre Kerstens]

Hi,

I get the following error message when I try to add a machine account to 
  my LDAP database using the pdbedit utility. I am using Samba 3.0 
beta3. The dn 'ou=computers,dc=scripps,dc=edu' exists.

[root at mymachine samba]# pdbedit -a -m -u testmachine
Searching for:[(&(objectClass=sambaDomain)(sambaDomainName=LCCB))]

uid=testmachine$,ou=computers,dc=scripps,dc=edu)
Unable to add machine! (does it already exist?)
[root at mymachine samba]#

After adding the testmachine$ entry in LDAP (in the ou=computers branch) 
using ldapadd (account, posicAccount, top, shadowAccount) and using 
smbpasswd -a -m testmachine afterwards, it worked (I could leave the 
schema as is).

This behaviour has also been detected by other people on the list. Can 
somebody confirm this sambaSID issue is a bug in pdbedit/smbpasswd?

Thanks

Andre
