samba - May 2004 - Samba PDC

Does Samba3 require windows machine accounts?

I need to have users authenticate to a Samba PDC and be able to run logon 
scripts when authenticated, BUT NOT have to have machine accounts for 
every user be setup.

In other words, can the user authenticate without his/her machine being 
part of the Domain?

Thanks,
Rich

Hey
The Samba 3 PDC I have on a Fedor core machine is authenticating clients from
both Windows 98 and XP. However, something is not right and I have no clue where
to begin to correct the following messages I recieve.
 
The '/var/log/messages' when I logon from XP
