samba - Oct 2002 - Auto machine account creation

Hi everyone!

I've got Samba 2.2.5 installed in a network of 3 client machines all running
xp pro.

Everything works ok except "on-the-fly" machine account
creation...from what
I've read I need something like

add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -s /bin/false -M $u

but this doesn't work for some reason.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or haven't considered?

Thanks very much,

Sam.

I think it should be u$. Is the useradd failing or is the process of 
having it added to smbpasswd failing?
