[Samba] On-the-Fly Creation of Machine Trust Accounts Problem

[Lee Baker]

Using Samba 3.0.23a-1.fc5.1

When I try to add XP workstation to the domain using Network ID wizard (from XP) it fails.  

add machine script is:  /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 500 -s /bin/false -M %u

What happens is a unix account (in passwd file) is created with LOWER-CASE username.
Account is added to smbpasswd in UPPER-CASE.

XP reports error "A device attached to the system is not functioning".
Manually changing unix account to upper case works.

This worked fined using Samba 2.x

Any suggestions or which version of Samba should I roll back to??

Thanks
Lee Baker
