It is really not a good idea to run Samba CVS snapshots if you are not
expericinced with it's use. Yes, it will bite...

You have enabled the experimental --with-tdbsam option, and selected my
ugly hack an _nua backend...
As detailed in the smb.conf manpage, you must set a 'non unix account
range' (I think that's what I called it - see the manpage). This gives
us a range in which to add NUA accounts. All users not already on the
unix system are added as NUA.

Becouse the backend could not find a RID, it could not add the machine.

Thats becouse very few people (nobody outside development, and some lost
folks using debian unstable) uses tdbsam, and even less use _nua.
The _nua idea is very neat, and very bad... It has serious design flaws
when the whole NT system comes togeather. That's why we are reworking
the whole box and dice...
