[Samba] machine trusts connecting to shares

[Thomas Spaziani]

Hi All,

  I am running 3.4.7 on Ubuntu Lucid.  I setup ldap auth in PAM and let 
that handle all the authentication with the 2003 AD Server (where the 
users groups, ect are stored).  It works great, but one little issue is 
driving me nuts. On some users (can't figure out the difference) when 
they log into their machine, I see in the Samba logs that the 
machine_name_ is trying to connect to the shares. Naturally this fails 
as the machine_name_ doesn't have access to their shares, only the user 
does.

This is also a problem as my samba will translate some shares like 
\\samba\profiles  to /home/%u/profile  and since I don't have home 
folders for the machines, they will not exist.

My understanding is that the machine trust accounts should not need to 
be created as they are on the AD server already from which I do my 
authentication.

This problem also occurs for EVERY user when they try and log in via 
Terminal Services.

Any help would be appreciated.
