[Samba] PDC broke after upgrade

[mat.enders at gmail.com]

Thanks Helmut I will check the time stamps later. I was using smbpasswd and that is what is called for in my smb.conf file.

Hallo, Mat,

Du meintest am 17.01.11:

>>> Samba 3.5.6 uses "tdbsam", earlier versions have used "smbpasswd";
>>> you should look which file ("smbpasswd" or "passdb.tdb") your old
>>> version has used.
>>> For converting you can use "pdbedit".

If your distribution puts "smbpasswd" into "/etc/samba/private":


pdbedit -i smbpasswd:/etc/samba/private/smbpasswd -e tdbsam:/etc/samba/private/passdb.tdb


It's a very good idea to first look into the directory and look at the  
timestamps of source and target file ... the pdbedit command overwrites  
existing files.

I can't see what has happened.
Which timestamp has your "smbpasswd", which timestamp has your  
"passdb.tdb"?

Or do you use LDAP? Then perhaps your system wants to use the LDAP crap  
as password backend.

You can define your special backend in the "[global]" part of your  
"smb.conf".

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
