I have tried the following:


   - stop CTDB (and cluster services) on both nodes
   - stop SAMBA
   - edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to reflect teh desired passdb backend entry.
   - synchronize both systems with the edited smb.conf file
   - copy the smb.conf file to  /etc/ctdb/state/samba/smb.conf.cache
   - reboot both server & start all services

Check files - still saying

passdb backend = tdbsam
idmap backend = tdb2


Is there a file (or set of files) that I'm missing to be edited?  I know
you say "it should just work" and my gut feeling says the same,
particularly as the docs don't have any specific mention if this, so it
doesn't indicate that there should be a problem.



Thanks again for the help.
