Actually that's not a stupid question, that happened when we first started using
Ghost. DOH!

But I did figured it out. We are using the serial numbers of the machines as
their computer names. Some of them start with letters and some of them start
with numbers. Linux doesn't won't allow usernames that begins with a number.
So when the add user script was running it would hit that name, fail to create
a system user, then smbpasswd couldn't enter it because there was no system
user, then windows would kick back an 'access denied' message. It would have
been nice for that to show up in the samba.log but it didn't. I found out by
manually entering the computer name at the console and seeing the 'invcalid
username' message.
We'll just have to modify our naming convention a little bit for the computers.

Thanks for the response though.
