I've reread the documentation of the smbldap-useradd command and found,
that the behaviour I reported as a bug is intentional, since
sambaSamAccount is normally added by samba when the machine is joined to
the domain.

My problem araises only when someone wants to migrate a machine account
from another server or authentication backend (tdb or smbpasswd). I
modify my suggestion according to my recent findings: Update the
documentation of smbldap-useradd with the following sentence:

"When migrating an existing machine account, you also have to invoke
smbldap-useradd -a computername$ after creating the account in order to
allow storing of encrypted password into the sambaNTPassword entry."

Or something similar.
