Ha! ;-)
There is only one but unfortunately he happens to be the one *in charge*. Funny how non-Americans think that Americans somehow have more control of their government than they have over their own. The truth is we don't have any more control over ours than anybody else does. Less even because we have so many more corporate Thrones we must bow to and because our government has some of the best spin doctors money can buy.


Having said that, I now must say something to make this a non off-topic and hopefully worth while post, hehehe. ;-)

hosts allow = passdb backend = tdbsam

The above line is in error. Should read:

#hosts allow =
passdb backend = tdbsam

My understanding is that the account created must belong to both worlds and therefore must have an entry in both passwd and smbpasswd files. That means probably using "smbpasswd -m" somewhere in your "add machine script". If I'm right about this then something like this example:

passdb backend = tdbsam smbpasswd

  add machine script = /usr/sbin/adduser -d /dev/null -g 100 \
   -s /bin/false -M %u;/usr/sbin/smbpasswd -m %u

The path for smbpasswd might not be correct. It is just a guess.

The issue, as I understand it, is that machine accounts require information that cannot be stored in the passwd file, therefore you need an additional backend. Of course, in this case only machine accounts will be stored there.
