Dan, What flavor of Linux are you using. I just did a migration using Samba 3.0 and RedHat ES 3.0. I ran into the same problem. That is because RedHat does not allow you to create user names with uppercase letters. The other problem I had was with group names. The way I got around it was to write my own scripts that change the machine name from upper to lower case. I put the reference in the smb.conf: add machine script = xxxxxx.sh This is the script:********************************************** #!/bin/sh # Script to add machines # Checks to see if a command line argument was passwd if [ $# -eq 0 ] then echo . echo "Did not pass an argument on the command line" echo "usage: conv.sh \"THIS is a TEST\"" echo . exit 0 fi # Passes the command line argument. Reduces the string length and converts to lower case lower=`echo $1 | sed y/[ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ\ ]/[abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz\_]/` #This is the section in which you call the useradd and pass the Unix compliant name /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -s /sbin/nologin -d /dev/null $lower exit 0 ************************************************************ > It doesn't make any difference if I run the above script or not. The > creation of the machine trust account still fails.
