[Samba] Problems with samba password file

[Kannberg, Andy]

Well...I tried that already...but see the result. Guess we threw away some
more then the passwd file only :)

[root at itiu82 ~]# smbpasswd -a kannberg
ERROR: empty passdb backend list!
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
invalid pdb_context specified!
Failed to add entry for user kannberg.
Failed to modify password entry for user kannberg


Cheers,
Andy

You're going to have to recreate everyone's password entry using 
smbpasswd -a <username>.  The first one should force an autocreate of 
the file.
