samba - Nov 2011 - remove machines from login list

Hi

When adding a windows machine to a Samba domain:

add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd  -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s 
/bin/false %m$

The machine name (e.g. computer_1$) now appears in the kdm login list 
for Linux clients using kde4. This looks a mess and doesn't make sense.

Can I add the machine without using 'useradd'? Or some other way to 
avoid this?
Thanks Steve.

Not sure if this will help. I use the following script that's very similar:
====================================add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d
/dev/null -g 'nofiles' -c
'Machine Account' -s /bin/false '%u'
====================================I have a group named "nofiles" and
the addition of "-g 'nofiles'" puts
all machines in their own group so their gid is different than that
that the users are in.
If KDE gets possible user login accounts from a particular gid this may help.
