samba - Oct 2002 - Cant find uid=0

Im having a problem adding machines to a domain. All has been fine until
today. This is the output when I try to add a machine (WinXP). It appears to
be looking for a root user in my LDAP directory but isnt finding it (because
there isnt a user 'root' there). User 'Administrator' exists.

Must there be an instance of 'root' in Samba LDAP backends? I've
ploughed
through the idealx HOWTO for this, but Messrs Lemaire don't explicitly
create a root user. Can someone help?

[2002/10/11 17:34:27, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(381)
  make_connection: administrator logged in as admin user (root privileges)
[2002/10/11 17:34:28, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(381)

[2002/10/11 17:34:29, 0] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:pdb_getsampwnam(858)
  LDAP search "(&(uid=root)(objectclass=sambaAccount))" returned 0
entries.

  _samr_set_userinfo: Unable to get smbpasswd entry for uid 0

then further on it'll say:

[2002/10/11 17:43:03, 1] smbd/password.c:pass_check_smb(545)
  Couldn't find user 'root' in passdb.

  Rejecting user 'root': authentication failed

Don't make the user you use to join the domain an 'admin user',
either
use root, or a member of the 'domain admins group'.  Yes, this is
confusing, and is fixed in 3.0
