[Samba] Batch computer account creation

[Thomas Sondag]

I'm looking for a way to batch create a list of computers accounts in
Active directroy running on Windows 2000 PDC.
I tried to use perl ldap to create those objects but I didn't manage
to set the  sAMAccountType to  "805306369" ( apparently this is a read
only auto generated value)

Is there any way to do that under Linux ?

Thanks,
  Thomas
