[Samba] Samba and LDAP: Trouble adding Win XP machines to the domain

[mikelOn]

I am using debian etch for the testing but I have had the same problem with
gentoo 2007.0. I used smbldap-populate (the admin user is "root" so no
parameters at all) and I also tried with "-u 50000 and -g 50000" so that
user ids do not overlap.

Do I need anything else (nss) if I am not authenticating *nix clients?

getent passwd does not show the machine accounts, should they be also be
there and not only in the ldap? I thought that was not necessary.

I user the root user to join the machines and the smb query you suggest
works properly. I can even list the samba shares from the windows machines.

Thanks again
