Bug Description
When joining a Windows 7 or Windows 2008 machine to a Samba domain using smbldap-useradd -w as 'add machine script', Windows fails with error message: 'The following error ocurred attempting to join the domain "MYDOMAIN":
A device attached to the system is not functioning.'
The reason for this is that smbldap tools are calling smbpasswd right after the
ldap add of the machine, however, some nss dependent service is using
a cached copy of ldap which does not contain the new machine entry. See e. g. http://
When using nscd on the Samba server, smbldap -useradd should flush the nss cache.
