Okay... just for validation of the process itself I just tried this:

- installed the current version of Debian 10 (Buster) into a new vm
- installed samba Version 4.9.5-Debian
- without any changes to the default smb.conf:

ayers at vmbuster:~$ sudo smbpasswd -a ayers
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Added user ayers.
ayers at vmbuster:~$ sudo pdbedit -L -v

{
key(19) = "INFO/minor_version\00"
data(4) = "\00\00\00\00"
}
{
key(9) = "NEXT_RID\00"
data(4) = "\E8\03\00\00"
}
{
key(13) = "INFO/version\00"
data(4) = "\04\00\00\00"
}

I assume that ist not what its supposed to look like?

Cheers,
David
