 I did that and smbpasswd -a -m worked.

 Does somebody know when/if this bug will be fixed?

 Any links? I've used (store ws on ou=computer) without problem.


What samab version your using 3.0.0 or 3.0.1

With 3.0.1pre2 version I was not able to store my computer account under
ou=computer tree. I have to store under ou=People tree.


I don't know why they changed.

 I still have doubts regarding some users and groups that MUST exist in
 the
 LDAP server.
 In particular I have seen a lot of people say that a root account (uid
 0) in
 the LDAP server is needed. I think this is a bad idea and I would like
 to

 Yes, it must have uid/guid = 0. you can give non valid shell (ie
 /bin/false)

I'm using 3.0.1. What problem you're facing when storing machine account under 
ou=computer?
Did you specify naming context for nss_base_shadow and nss_base_passwd in ldap.conf? 
Did you able to get correct result for  'id machinename$' ?
