samba - May 2005 - failed to add domain dn= sambaDomainName=hostname

Hello,

On a computer, a sparc64 with Debian, with hostname tw89
and domain name KUDDE 
thinks `smbpasswd` that the domain name is TW89

| tw89:~
| # grep workgroup /etc/samba/smb.conf
| # Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
|    workgroup = KUDDE
| tw89:~
| # ldapsearch -LLxW -H ldaps://tw89  -D
cn=admin,ou=people,dc=gst,dc=stappers,dc=nl \
|   -b dc=gst,dc=stappers,dc=nl
'(&(objectClass=*)(sambaDomainName=*))' sambaDomainName
| version: 1
|
| dn: sambaDomainName=KUDDE,dc=gst,dc=stappers,dc=nl
| sambaDomainName: KUDDE
|
| tw89:~
| # smbpasswd -a challange
| failed to add domain dn= sambaDomainName=TW89,dc=gst,dc=stappers,dc=nl with:
Insufficient access

| tw89:~

On a working computer ( debian-edu, i386 ) there is

| tjener:~
| # smbpasswd -D 4 -a mymom

| tjener:~

The failing computer gives:

| tw89:~
| # smbpasswd -D 4 -a mymom
| Searching for:[(&(objectClass=sambaDomain)(sambaDomainName=TW89))]
| smbldap_open_connection: connection opened

Why does it use it's hostname 
and the workgroup?

 and not the workgroup?

It seems to happen in source/passdb/pdb_ldap.c
and from what I can see now, is that works fine.
