[Samba] Samba / Lucid / Windows 7 problem

[Torkil Svensgaard]

My initial assumption about Windows XP was wrong, I can't join with that 
either, it just seemed that way. I failed to notice that removing the 
machine from the domain from within XP didn't actually remove it from 
the LDAP server and thus when I rejoined it apparently used the existing 
account instead of creating a new one through smdldap-useradd.

The problem lies elsewhere, one of the lines in smbldap-useradd that 
fails looks like this:

chomp( $pass = <STDIN> );

I presume an autogenerated password shold be passed to the script 
through some sort of STDIN redirection but that fails.

Thanks,

Torkil
