[Samba] LDAP: add machine script required--answers

[Nick Urbanik]

Dear Folks,

Thank you to Markus!

The answers to my questions regarding add machine script, after examining
Markus' create-machine-account.sh for Samba 2.2:
When using LDAP on samba 3.0.0 RC1 with ldapsam and sambaSamAccount
objectClass:

  1. an add machine script is required for normal operation
  2. the script should create a posixAccount for the machine, and
  3. can use smbpasswd -a -m machineAccount$ to add the required
     sambaSamAccount attributes to the entry.

Please correct my conclusions if I am wrong (is it necessary to call
smbpasswd from the script?)

Thanks again, Markus.
