Check that your user scripts are in that path, that looks like the default, you may need to adjust the path to match yours. If you are using IDEALX scripts, then the path should point to /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-useradd.....

Hi,

I also got the same error when i tried to add machine
account with the add user script.

add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g
10000 -s /bin/false -M %u

You first create machine account manually from the
shell. After that you can  join machine in the domain.

Hi all


I am trying to set up a Ubuntu Samba server from
scratch.  I did this
last year with 2.2.  I need a PDC and roaming
profiles.  Problem is I
can't join the domain with my lone test PC running
NT4.  I am getting
a message saying that the machine account cant be
established.  Her
is the log data;

2005/08/03 20:30:08, 0]
rpc_server/srv_samr_nt.c:_samr_create_user(2324)
   _samr_create_user: Running the command
`/usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/
false \-d /dev/null l200772$' gave 1
useradd: unable to lock password file

Testparm runs oK,  I have encrypt password = yes, I
have been
studying the Official Samba 3 How to guide but can't
figure this out.

I can "net use" the server from the client and map a
home share.
Smbclient gives me :

         MDKGROUP             LOCALHOST
         TCCGIRLS             UBUNTU


Note:  MDKGROUP has Samba services turned off and
L200772 is the NT
workstation that I am trying to join the domain
with.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Mark
