As far I know, you cannot use the same name for users and a machines
account.
This is the way that I follow to create machine accounts:
1. Create a "user" account in /etc/passwd (note the '$')
# useradd cpu3$
2. Create the machine account with smbpasswd (note now '$' is not in the
name)
# smbpasswd -a -m cpu3
I hope this may help you...
