Hi..

  If  i add these entries to the smb.conf in the GLOBAL parmeters.

        update encrypted = Yes
        smb passwd file = /etc/shadow
        unix password sync = Yes

 I was getting following error messages.

getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (uid not number)
getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (no : after uid)

 Please let me know if any one have seen these error messages.
