I am having trouble getting samba to execute the add machine script
properly. It seems to be executing this script as a non-root user.
I am running trustix with the 2.4.30 kernel. Samba is version 3.0.14a.
Here is the output from testparm:
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
Processing section "[homes]"
Processing section "[netlogon]"

Loaded services file OK.

When in run `net join EE -U root` I get the following error:

Here is a snippit of part of the log that is generated when i run that
command. As you can see from the last lines, smbldap-useradd did not
run properly because it could not open the smbldap.conf file. The
permissions on this file are 0600; it is owned by root.

How can I get this script to run as root?
