[Samba] Machine account in smbpasswd is wrong

[Prins, C.]

Hallo,

I can't join a win2K machine on my domain.
I create the machine account dynamically in my smb.conf by the following line:
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 200 -s /bin/false -M %u

Now a machine account is created and added to my users (this part works ok)
Samba also generates a machine account for samba (I could not find a line for that in my smb.conf)
But the generated account is not good it look like this
WIN2KMACHINE_1$:548:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:[W          ]:LCT-00000000:

I found a workaround by adding the machine account for the users and for samba manually
useradd -d /dev/null -g 200 -s /bin/false -M win2kmachine_1$
smbpasswd -a -m win2kmachine_1$

The smbpasswd look like this
win2kmachine_1$:548:6A9911670184E884AAD3B435B51404EE:AF0782CC683F8A5C88DFE572758DFB96:[U          ]:LCT-45473055:

After this log join my client again to the domain my smbpasswd changes into
win2kmachine_1$:548:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:AF0782CC683F8A5C88DFE572758DFB96:[U          ]:LCT-45473055:

And the machine can be logged on to the domain

But I want this to be done automatically (It used to work with FC5)
One of the strange things is that the auto generated account is in capitols 

I hope someone can tell what I did wrong (or what has to be added) because generating all the machine accounts by hand isn't my hobby

Thanks in advance
