I am getting an error when trying to add a machine trust account to my
Samba Server (acting as a PDC).

Here is an excerpt of a shell session:

bigbyte:/etc/samba# smbpasswd -m -a pc-00454
Failed to modify entry for user pc-00454$.
Failed to modify password entry for user pc-00454$
bigbyte:/etc/samba# smbd -V
Version 2.999+3.0.alpha23-4 for Debian
bigbyte:/etc/samba# nmbd -V
Version 2.999+3.0.alpha23-4 for Debian
bigbyte:/etc/samba#


I have created the account in the /etc/passwd file.  It exists in the
shadow password file.  I have created machine accounts before.

What should I be looking for?
