More info: I get the above error and XP users can not
browser the shares (although they can see the share names)
if I have in my smb.conf:

    passdb backend = tdbsam
    idmap backend = tdb

If I comment out "idmap backend", happy camping
returns.

Since "man smb.conf" states that "idmap backend = tdb"
is the default, I am MAJOR CONFUSED.  :'(

What is going one?

Many thanks,
