Firstly, the man page says to use "add machine script"... AND Can someone tell me why my thinking is wrong. Isn't %u the username of the current service, if any, as described in the smb.conf man page?
If so, why do the doc's (including the man page) put %u in the command for adding a machine account to the UNIX side? Doesn't the machine account need the NetBIOS name of the client, and isn't this represented in Samba by %m? Wouldn't the command for adding a machine be something more like (3.0.x): add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /dev/null -g 100 \ -s /bin/false %m Can't test right now as our only 2000 machine is busy. Can anyone else confirm?
