OK, I just figured out how to do it.

My NT4 workstation is called "king".
Use 'smbldap-useradd -w king' to add the posixAccount: king$.
Then use 'smbpasswd -a -m king' to add the samba account. You will have
# smbldap-usershow king$
dn: uid=king$,ou=Computers,dc=sunix,dc=com
objectClass: top,inetOrgPerson,posixAccount,sambaSamAccount
cn: king$
sn: king$
uid: king$
uidNumber: 1025
gidNumber: 515
homeDirectory: /dev/null
loginShell: /bin/false
description: Computer
sambaSID: S-1-5-21-1242048156-3479289135-3828126537-3050
sambaPrimaryGroupSID: S-1-5-21-1242048156-3479289135-3828126537-2031
displayName: king$
sambaPwdCanChange: 1090385089
sambaPwdMustChange: 2147483647
sambaLMPassword: FE250117FB90641FAAD3B435B51404EE
sambaNTPassword: 0FBD58B776542B3CB589E0D8F686A3A7
sambaPwdLastSet: 1090385089
sambaAcctFlags: [W          ]

Then loginto  NT4  and change its identification from workgroup to domain,
without creating new account.

Thanks anyway!
