[Samba] Unable to modify TDB passwd [RESOLVED]

[Tani Alessandro]

Thank you very much Matt for your mail. I think to do an error during the 
management of the user, because the root UID should be 1000 and don't 500 as 
I had, so with the command:

pbedit -r -u root -U <NewSID>

I resolved my problem.

Thank you very much.

Alessandro Tani
