samba - Nov 2003 - Machine account pasword change failed (NT 4)

Hi guys and girls,

I run a Samba-3.0 PDC for N.T. workstations on a Slackware Linux box.
I often see the following error in the N.T. workstation's event log:
Changing machine account password for account "xxxxx$" failed with the
following error:
The handle is invalid.

Any ideas what this could be ?
I'm not using PAM in any way.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

You really are going to need to get the server's log, to make any sense
of it.  Getting an ethereal trace can help too - the nltest.exe utility
(NT resourse kit, I think) will help a lot here.
