[Samba] smbpasswd -a issues

[Sean Kellogg]

This totally worked a few days ago...  when running 'smbpasswd -a user
-D 5' I get the following:

root at logos:/home/niles/ldap/debian# smbpasswd -a user -D 5
Netbios name list:-
my_netbios_names[0]="LOGOS"
New SMB password:

As you can see, I'm using ldap, and running at a higher debug value
shows that I am successfully connecting to the ldap server.  This works
fine if the user already has a posix account established...  but it used
to create the account automagically.  While its not the end of the world
in terms of users, it is very troublesome when trying to add a machine
to the domain (where it evokes smbpasswd -am MACHINE NAME).  Again,
broken.   But this totally worked a few days ago.  While I'm not surp

The only thing I can think of is that I upgraded to 3.0.0rc2-Debian from
3.0.0rc1-Debian.  But that seems like an odd thing to change.  Has
anyone else experienced this problem?  

smb.conf

[global]
  netbios name = logos
  workgroup = logos

  encrypt passwords = true
  unix password sync = no
  ldap passwd sync = yes
  pam password change = yes
  obey pam restrictions = yes

  domain master = yes
  local master = yes

  passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://logos.biostat.washington.edu

  ldap suffix = dc=biostat,dc=washington,dc=edu
  ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers
  ldap user suffix = ou=People
  ldap group suffix = ou=Group
  ldap ssl = off

  security = user
  domain logons = yes
  wins server = 128.95.29.52

  logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u
  logon script = logon.bat

  logon drive = H:

  time server = yes

  idmap uid = 10000-65000
  idmap gid = 10000-65000
  add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false %u

  printing = BSD
  load printers = yes
  printer admin = @domadmin
  printcap name = /etc/printcap

Help would be appreciated...  hell, "it works for me" would even be
good, as then I know its something I'm doing at not the developers.
