Hi guys, I'm trying to fix this issue with creating machine accounts from net rpc vampire, just to confirm from the looks of things, this command actually calls the "add machine script" value from smb.conf ? so it doesn't pass through a password to this.. ? I'm not sure how the script would be getting a password as the recommended value for the line was; add machine script = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-useradd -w '%u' Which I assume is "username" for COMP1$ COMP2$ etc... so how do machine accounts (theoretically) get labelled with their LM / NT hashes? Regards Eric
