Thanks for the help, but..
I checked passwd and shadow, they seem ok (account machine$ is there as created by 'add machine script'). Since im using tdbsam, there is no smbpasswd file, but a passdb.tdb. Issuing a pdbedit -Lv shows root and other data not seem to be related to the repeated computer name. Tried also a tdbdump passdb.tdb and showed info about users and trust relationships but again no data about the repeated computer name. Any more ideas? (forgot to say it's a suse 9.1 updated online, so no doubt about the operating system or version errors)
Thanks again Leo
Hummm, some more ideas pdbedit -Lv | grep Unix | sort -u | wc -l will output the number of samba accounts pdbedit -Lv | grep Unix | sort | wc -l will output the number of unique samba accounts it should be the same google also told me some interessting stuff: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-ntdom/2001-February/017635.html
That message is usually associated with another windows/samba machine having the same netbios name on the network. ... ... somtime ago domain and pdc could have the same name and there were roumors of this causing problems. And I can confirm that a couple of mysterious problems went away when I changed the name of the domain.

Do not include the WINS server's Remove the static entries from the WINS databse or better: Install a DNS server on your network.
