If I did not set "ldap filter" then according man page (smb.conf) it will be:

 Default: ldap filter = (&(uid=%u)(objectclass=sambaAccount))

which is 'not work'. I migh wrong here.

Also man page for smb.conf(5) in samba-3.0.2rc1 is truncated, only 1 page long, at least in srpm package.

fyi, I've tried 3.0.2rc1 without setting 'ldap filter' in smb.conf and put computer account under ou=computer and it able to add machine. 
Any strong reason to not putting computer account different than user accounts?
