[Samba] Persistent error

[Marius Pana]

I have installed several different version's of samba and all of them 
give me the same error:

2002/11/22 14:29:46, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwnam(1369)
  unable to open passdb database.
[2002/11/22 14:29:46, 0] passdb/pdb_smbpasswd.c:pdb_getsampwnam(1369)
  unable to open passdb database.

Somtimes I get a different one but I cant get it to reproduce right now. 
I am using Samba 2.2.7 on a Slackware 8.1 Linux Kernel 2.4.18. Any help 
would be appreciated. Thanks
