Password Backends - anymore info out there?

[Paul Griffith]

Hmmm....

Looking at your code and the examples I made a plug-in, but Samba is
unable to load the plug-in.

[2005/01/07 13:33:23, 2, effective(0, 0), real(0, 0)]
passdb/pdb_interface.c:make_pdb_methods_name(654)
  No builtin backend found, trying to load plugin

passdb/pdb_interface.c:make_pdb_methods_name(664)
  No builtin nor plugin backend for pdb_udb found
[2005/01/07 13:33:23, 1, effective(0, 0), real(0, 0)]
passdb/pdb_interface.c:make_pdb_context_list(765)
  Loading pdb_udb failed!

It looks like make_pdb_methods_name in  source/passdb/pb_interface.c 
is failing to find the entry to the backend. 

In my pdb_udb.c file I have:

NTSTATUS pdb_udb_init(void)
{
   return smb_register_passdb(PASSDB_INTERFACE_VERSION, "udb",udb_init);
}

Which should call udb_init to register the passdb.

In smb.conf I have

passdb backend = pdb_udb

I compiled pdb_udb.c using the Makefile in examples/pdb/


Any ideas or clues??
