[Samba] smbpasswd not found...

[Nicolas Kowalski]

Hello.

We are running samba-2.2.2 on a SunOS 5.7 sparc server, as a PDC.

A few minutes ago, users could not log in workstations/servers with
errors like 'Domain not available' during 5-10 minutes...I checked the
log files, and found something really strange :

log.chaillol:  startsmbfilepwent_internal: unable to open file /opt/samba-2.2.2/private/smbpasswd. Error was No such file or directory
log.chaillol:[2002/06/05 13:51:01, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwnam(1368)
log.chaillol:[2002/06/05 13:51:01, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:startsmbfilepwent(171)
log.chaillol:  startsmbfilepwent_internal: unable to open file /opt/samba-2.2.2/private/smbpasswd. Error was No such file or directory
log.chaillol:[2002/06/05 13:51:01, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwnam(1368)


So Samba was unable to find this smbpasswd file...But it is still
there. It did not change since 3 days. 

Now, everything is running fine, but I wonder what happenned.

Any idea ?

Thanks in advance.

Nicolas.
