Your version of the old tdb format is not current with what
is in SAMBA_3_0 CVS. In CVS the one of the DWORDs has been
replaced with 2 WORDs (bad_password_count and logon_count).

This means the init_buffer_from_sam_v0 in this patch is a
regression to what we have.

The patch looks good, it's just going to need some work to
apply with what we currently have in SAMBA_3_0 CVS.

That is what is taking me the time to apply it.

Jeremy.
