[Samba] Ghost Create account: procedure number out ofrange inSamba

[werner maes]

domain admin group = root (in smb.conf)
I have defined the user 'root' in LDAP. On the client I added the domain 
users to the administrators group. I try to run the services under this 
root account on the domain but the services will only run under a local 
system account and not under a domain account. That seems to be the 
problem. With this user 'root' it is possible to manually join the client 
to the domain and to logon to the domain.

I've tried about everything but still no solution....
Still hoping though :-)
