After reading my previous post, I noticed I forgot to insert the "add" in
the command for my posting to the list. The full command should be:

"net rpc user add testuser  -S ip_address -U administrator%password"

I guess it is a problem with the access mask bits during the creation of a
user...

Any light shed on the probelm would be greatly appreciated.
