So, after not receiving a link and having a bit of spare time, I went
looking for linkha and found it here:

https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~tbean74/linuxha/trunk/view/head:/LinuxHA.sh

I feel sorry about writing this, because the guy has obviously spent
quite some time writing and maintaining that bash script, but, in my
opinion, he missed the memo about NT4-style domains being dead.

So, yes there is something wrong with the Samba syntax, it is using code
you should no longer use when setting up a new domain.

I cannot recommend that script to anyone.
