Try:

	passdb backend = tdbsam, guest

The 'guest' is necessary.

In your smb.conf [globals] add:

	idmap uid = 10000-15000
	idmap gid = 10000-15000

That should solve that error message.

Before you use pdbedit do:

	smbpasswd -a root

That should work.

You need the guest account handler above.

That's answered above too.

You can map your groups using:

	net groupmap ...
