[Samba] unable to open passdb database.

[Ben Kim]

I found many questions but no answers on the web.

I described my needs in earlier post, but now switched from security =
domain to security = server, and designated the AD domain server as the
password server.

It works as desired, i.e. I don't need smbpasswd any more, and if windows 
users change their passwords by ctrl-alt-del, they can later use the new
password without coming to admins.

However, I find that this is unreliable, because after password change,
the 2nd logon to share, or logon from another machine, fails with this
message in smbd's log.

  unable to open passdb database.

I'd appreciate some advice.
