samba - Jul 2003 - disabled mashine account without password

Hi,

when i try to join a winxp pro client to my samba domain i get an access 
denied error.
Checking /etc/passwd and smbpasswd shows an new created mashine account, 
but the account
is disabled and without a password.

I'm using a debian 3.0 Linux with Samba 2.2.8a-1.0 and the following add 
user script:
/usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g workstations -s /bin/false -M %u

Is there something wrong with the script?

Some informatio about the xp-client:
-- signorseal patch applied
-- accessing shares without probs possible

additional information:
-- some probs with root accout see thread from 23.7

Thank you in advance for all help

Try revert to domain admin root and aply next XP patch as described on
http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba/samba-pdc.html

5.3.3. Windows 2000/XP Professional
To allow Windows XP Professional (not W2K) to join a Samba Domain, you will
need to first make the following changes to your registry and reboot:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Netlogon\Parameters]
"requiresignorseal"=dword:00000000
"signsecurechannel"=dword:00000000


The second setting is a bit of an unknown; many can join a Samba domain
without setting it; others claim it doesn't work for their system until they
do set it. In short, your mileage may vary ;-)
