Description Holger Schletz 2005-06-14 03:33:37 UTC 
I'm using Samba 3.0.14 with tdbsam backend. The modification timestamp of 
passdb.tdb does rarely get updated when any changes are made to the passdb (I 
guess this is only done when the file size grows, but I can't prove that).

I'm sure there are changes to the file: I created a copy and changed a password. 
Running diff on the two files showed a difference. However, the timestamp was 
untouched.

This is a severe problem with incremental backups: I recently restored a totally 
outdated version since the backup software never recognized the change :-(
