Just to visit this subject again, I think I've worked out the add user script line that Dan Brown and Charlie Brady were working out on Dan's Samba Upgrade How-To 2 (http://www.familybrown.org/howtos/samba-upgrade-howto-2.html).
Based on information from Dan and (I think) in Darrell May's original samba ad a PDC How-To, the add user script line in smb.conf should read: add user script = /sbin/e-smith/db accounts set %u machine ; \ /etc/e-smith/events/actions/machine-account-create machine-create %u This sets the computer name as a machine account and runs the script to update the appropriate files, i.e. smbpasswd, etc. The problem is that the %u value gets passed to samba as machine$, and the machine-account-create script adds $ to the end (line 60) -> machine$$, which is what is added to smbpasswd. When I change line 60 from "$machineName\$" to "$machineName", everything works fine, and I can add Win2000 clients to the domain. David M.
