The add user / account process should add the sambaSamAccount
objectclass and related attributes.  If Samba can't find the new new
object to modify then that is the problem.  We have a Samba LDAP PDC and
joining machines and adding users works fine.  I think you problem is -

    ldap machine suffix = ou=computers
    ldap user suffix = ou=People

Specifying these causes problems,  it is up to the add script where to
create the account object.  Just make use that creates the object where
you want it and Samba will modify the object in-place.  Remove these two
directives.

You said in your original message: ":samba is trying to find that entry
in ou=people instead of ou=computers.".  That is your problem.
