Hello,
Getting this error:
[2002/11/02 12:55:16, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwnam(1367)
unable to open passdb database.

Now, I've tried changing passwords via smbpasswd for a couple of different
accounts, and for whatever reason it can't change them. I'm trying to set
up my Samba box as a PDC. So far I haven't even been able to join the
domain.
Here's my smb.conf file:
[global]
netbios name = roswell
workgroup = AREA51
os level = 64
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
domain logons = yes
domain admin group = root swrosch inferno
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M
%u
allow hosts = 192.168.0. 127.
# SHARE DEFINITIONS
[netlogon]
path = /home/netlogon
read only = yes
guest ok = no
write list = root swrosch inferno
I'm running Samba 2.2.6, and trying to join with my Win2k box. But, every
time I try to change passwords or anything, I get unable to open passdb
errors.
Any assistance would be much appreciated. I've been trying to follow the
directions in the Samba howto
(http://us6.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html), and I'm
getting completely confused.
Thanks,
Scott
