I restore this old thread because those "tdb" ids popped up again.

To recap, in order to get rid of the wrong tdb ids I:

* changed all files on disk with find -gid TDB_UID chown RID_UID {} \;
* net cache flush
* rebooted

Everything was fine, but eventually it wasn't totally correct.
I found a similar problem on SO [1], and they suggest to:

service winbind stop
service smb stop
net cache flush
rm -f /var/lib/samba/*.tdb
rm -f /var/lib/samba/group_mapping.ldb
service smb start
service winbind start

Some further comments report a new "join" is required before restarting services.
Can this be a correct approach?

Thanks
