AFAIK you can only use Computer authentication feature with Active 
Directory and possibly with Samba as domain member to AD. I have tried 
to use this with Samba PDC with ldap backend but to no avail. Check 
samba logs for more information (you might have to up log level quite a 
bit tho). I have seen a message posted to samba mailing list regarding 
machine authentication but have not seen any responses yet. If I'm wrong 
please do let me know as this is very cool feature that will allow 
writing logs to a network share in a sane way.
