[Samba] pdbedit - question on migration what about mysql?

[Collen]

hehehehe..
Try setting up your smb.conf for using mysql,
or try compiling samba with the expsam mysql,
or by sure mysql is configed the right way (importing the example 
database from the samba dir)

basicly, my guesses is that samba did not find the mysql-passwd backend!
that's all.
