  yield_connection: tdb_delete failed with error Record does not exist.

You do realize that mksmbpasswd.sh does not enter the actual passwords,
right?

Unix passwords and SMB passwords use incompatible encryption schemes, both
one-way encryption techniques.  There is no way to read the passwd file (or
yp equivalent) and generate SMB encrypted passwords from it.  Hell, if this
were possible, then the separate smbpasswd file would not be necessary.

You need to add individual passwords for each user, using "smbpasswd".  Or
use unencrypted passwords for a time, using the "update encrypted" option
of
Samba (in effect, letting users populate the smbpasswd passwords by using
the system).
