[Samba] add machine script problem

[Brian Abreu]

I am having trouble getting samba to execute the add machine script 
properly.  It seems to be executing this script as a non-root user.

I am running trustix  with the 2.4.30 kernel.  Samba is version 3.0.14a.

Here is the output from testparm:

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[netlogon]"
Processing section "[backup]"
Loaded services file OK.
Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_PDC

When in run `net join EE -U root` I get the following error:

  ads_connect: No results returned
Creation of workstation account failed
Unable to join domain EE.

Here is a snippit of part of the log that is generated when i run that 
command.  As you can see from the last lines, smbldap-useradd did not 
run properly because it could not open the smbldap.conf file.  The 
permissions on this file are 0600; it is owned by root.

How can I get this script to run as root?
