samba - Aug 2005 - Question on BDC secrets.tdb file

Hi,
I am having problems getting winbind on a BDC to work in a Samba3 /LDAP 
Enviornment and have one straightforward question.
Should the secrets.tdb file on the BDC contain an entry with the name of 
the BDC , e.g. where BACKUP is the name of the BDC ?.

{
key = "SECRETS/SID/BACKUP"
data = 
"\01\04\00\00\00\00\00\05\15\00\00\00\CE/\8B\B05\AF\A5\D4h\C0\DB\04\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00\00"
}

All my other domain member servers contain an entry similar to this, but 
not the BDC. This is why i think winbind is failing.
Thanks,

Such an entry may be created, but because there are no 'local' users on
a PDC or BDC (there are only domain users), there is no local domain of
the name 'backup' to give a SID to.  

As to why on some machines and not others:  This entry is often created
in the db before Samba is placed as a BDC or PDC.
