if we have users in remote places, i do not want to have to go over

AFAICT it works with a non-root user if you use LDAP instead of smbpasswd. <snip/>

I'm doing it with samba 2.2.7a. But I'd like something like "add computer group = valid-user", so that everybody with a user-account can
add his workstation to the domain (if the workstation's ip is logged as
active by the dhcp).
Probably it's possible to add computer-accounts via dhcp-log's (but I
think the problem here is that the DHCP-hostname could be different from
the NetBIOS-name.
