Jan,

I also ran into maybe similar problems, which i couldnt solve on ubuntu(debian). The problem for me is that when the script is executed on the command line/ '/usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w //"eduard-laptop$"'/ the following enviourment varaibles are set:

	...	
	UID=0
	USER=root
	...

When the script is run by samba, the enviourment settings are:
	...
	UID=65534
	USER=root
	...

Notice that the UID of 65534 should be 0 AFAIK. I determined this by using the following setting in the smb.conf:
	'set /> /tmp/user.txt; /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w "%u"'

(http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2005-August/109759.html)

I dont know if we have the same problem, but to me it almost looks the same.

I dont have a sollution for this problem.
