[Samba] Unable to join to domain: The username could not be found.

[James Taylor]

Common issue I am seeing, are you using the smbldap-useradd script?  If so
you need to modify the script so that when the machine account is created in
ldap that the sambaSAMAccount information is added to the machine account
that you are joining to the Samba Domain.

I'm using the root account, the "root". I think the accounts are enabled
and I used smbpasswd to set the paswd. I also want to mention that I'm
using idealx scripts to maintain smb and ldap at the same time.
