Hi. I've managed to get a Win 2000 machine to join our Samba domain, though the result of the add machine script is not as I would expect. The command includes '-g machines'. The machines group is gid 2004, however in /etc/passwd the primary group is listed as 100. Any idea why the group for the machine becomes 100 when I've specified another group?
