Yes. Machines may change their machine account with any BDC, and samba will 'loose' this apon the next rsync from the PDC. You will need to use LDAP (as it has the correct 'talk to the PDC' logic). > And I can't find a solution for using account policy to block the user > account after bad logins, pdbedit doesn't seem to work. A patch to implement this is under consideration - Jeremy has implemented part of this, but it is not yet operational.
