I'm not actually using the PADL scripts to setup the posixAccount information. I created my own shell scripts to add accounts to LDAP. The script I'm using will just add the posixAccount information to LDAP. Then Samba will find the entry and add the sambaSamAccount attributes.
There may be one other reason it is working that I did not mention before. I edited by /etc/ldap.conf file and commented out this line:
#nss_base_passwd ou=People,dc=firerun,dc=net?one
so when I do "getent passwd" the computer accounts are also returned with user accounts. This may be the why it is working.

Hello All,...
I just wanted to let everyone know how I was finally able to store
computer accounts in ldap with a different suffix than the users
accounts. The whole problem ended up being the smb.conf file. After
reading a message that Gerald Carter responded to about the ldap
search suffix, I decided to go make some changes and do some testing.
ldap suffix = dc=firerun,dc=net ldap user suffix = ou=People ldap group suffix = ou=Group ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers
I can now use the add machine script to add a posixAccount object for
Hi Patrick!
Glad to here, that the thing works. I got the same problem. But the smb.conf always looked like that!
So question: which version of the scripts are you using? Can you add Machines "on the fly" from windows? How about the smbldap_conf.pm?
