RE [Samba] smbldap-useradd -w won't create machine account

[Hector Blanco]

No? Then how do you say we must do? Because I also tried to do that
from Windows, and it doesn't work... I mean... right click on my pc
and "add machine to domain"... and still doesn't work :S

> the problem, as it turns out, is that you can't expect the command line to add the sambaSamAccount objectClass. the only way to get that added is by adding the windows machine to the domain, and samba will create that object class using the script. it must pass something magical to the script.
