I guess you are absolutely certain that the use of %u in the "add machine 
script" is a bug. Please file a bug report on bugzilla.samba.org with a 
reproducible test case to prove that this is a bug. 

If it is a bug then we MUST fix it, and then I will update the documentation 
also.

At this time, in my test environment, using %u (not %m) works perfectly as I 
have documented it. If this does not work in your environment please help me 
to see why. At this time I can not reproduce your problem and thus I fear 
that your advice is misleading.

Given that one of us is wrong, let's get to the bottom of the problem and fix 
it.
