[Samba] Samba 3.0b3: Cannot add machine to LDAP database

[Jim C]

To my knowledge, the IDEALX perl scripts found in 
"/usr/share/samba/scripts" have not been updated for the new schema.
The script setting used for adding a machine is typically set to use one 
of these.   Could this be the problem?
