[Samba] could not add user/computer winxp$ to passdb:Check permissions?

[Tony Austin]

I've Googled my fingertips off trying to find an answer to this and tried
several things without success.

I have 2 Samba server setup by different people but both using Samba by
Example chapter 6.

Neither server will allow Windows computers to join the domain.

The Samba log shows:
