I presume you are using a tdbsam backend. If so, on SLES9 you need to do the
following:
a) mkdir /var/lib/smb-machines/
b) Set in your smb.conf the following:
add machine account = /usr/sbin/useradd -s /bin/flase
-d /var/lib/smb-machines/"%u" "%u"
i.e.: SLES9 will not allow creation of system accounts that have a /dev/null
home directory.
