[Samba] : Server's root name change when log-in

[Gaiseric Vandal]

When you join the machine to the domain you should be prompted for
credentials of someone who has permissions to join the computer to the
domain -    this is normally the domain administrator or someone in the
domain administrators group.     Users who are not domain administrators
should not be able to join machines to the domain.

You may also want to change your LDAP structure to get a little more
control , e.g "ou=systeme" and "ou=temppeople" should be a children of
"ou=people."     You can configure your ldap configuration to look for
users in "ou=people" and its children.    "getent passwd" should still
list all the user  accounts.
