Hi all-

 

OK, I've been pulling my hair out for a while on this.

 

I've got a server running RH9 and Samba-3.0.0RC1 (installed via rpm) set
up as a PDC.

 

There seems to be a problem setting up machine accounts on the fly.
I've got the basic:

 

add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M
%u

 

in my smb.conf but every time I try to join a computer to the domain, I
get the error:

 

The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "<domain>":

The user name could not be found.

 

All the logs show that everything is fine with the authentication, and I
know that if I add the machine account manually, I've got no problem
joining the domain.  With 50-100 computers, manually adding the machine
accounts is not really a viable option.  Has anyone else experienced
this problem?

 

Thanks for your input,

 

Mark
