[Samba] Permissions on ou for net join to ADS

[Unix Service (ANTS)]

Hi

I have noticed the following behaviour:

If I get a kerberos ticket as a domain admin user using kinit and then do a
net join to an ADS domain, then this works fine and net ads testjoin and net
ads leave work too.

However if I do it as a user with full control on a particular ou within the
AD tree, net join gives the following:

net join "/Global Administration/Samba Servers"
[2004/02/24 14:33:48, 0] libads/ldap.c:(1072)
  Warning: ads_set_machine_sd: NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER
Using short domain name -- AD
Joined 'host1' to realm 'AD.ME.CO.UK'

net ads test join still returns ok but net ads leave returns failed to
delete host xxxx from dddddd realm ( I do a net join again it deletes the
old entry and re adds the host ok ).

It's not causing any problems as such, but I just wondered if there was any
explanation for the above behaviour as I assumed full control on an ou would
be equivlaent to domain admin within the scope of that ou.
