[Samba] PDC broke after upgrade

[Helmut Hullen]

Hallo, Mat,

Du meintest am 16.01.11:

> I upgraded from Debian Lenny (Samba 3.2.5) to Squeeze (Samba 3.5.6)
> and now my PDC does not work.

> In the past when upgrading from one release to another all of the
> machine trust accounts no longer worked but I was able to just rejoin

> bad password.  I have always used root and roots password what am I
> missing?  What changed between these 2 releases?

What tells

        testparm -s 2>/dev/null | grep passdb
        testparm -sv 2>/dev/null | grep passdb

The first line tells what is defined in the "smb.conf", the second tells  
all pre-defined options too.

Samba 3.5.6 uses "tdbsam", earlier versions have used "smbpasswd"; you  
should look which file ("smbpasswd" or "passdb.tdb") your old version  
has used.
For converting you can use "pdbedit".

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
