[Samba] NT4 PDC Account transfer

[Collen]

Hmm, dunno about the users ( maybe a faulty add user script ??)

but the problem i had with the vampire, was that
when syncing and making the MACHINE$ account's
samba used the add user script, and not the machine add script ??
also samba passed the MACHINE$ name in capital's

there for a simple useradd failed (coz of the capital's)
(i did the sync with 301 version, dunno whether it was fixed later on ??)

that's all the info i can give you..

L8r.
