Description Kjell Arne Rekaa 2003-08-12 08:51:17 UTC 
The Samba 3.0.0.0beta3 build on our RedHat server is working only after a:

cp /etc/samba/smbpasswd /usr/local/samba/private/

The build is made by a simple:
./configure
make
make install

(with no additional options)

A "strace -f" on the smbd deamon, showed that 
smdb wanted information from the /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd,
while the "smbpasswd" command updated the /etc/samba/smbpasswd file.

Are absolutely certain that you are *not* using the default system-supplied
smpbasswd command?

Which program you use? smbadduser or smbpasswd?

In case of smbadduser, edit them with favorite text editor to set correct path
 to smbpasswd (password database file, not to smbpasswd program!) in
 "set passwd" parameter
Comment 3 Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2003-08-20 09:14:12 UTC 
source/smbadduser needs to be updated to use the $(privatedir)
and $(sysconfdir) variables from autoconf.
Comment 4 Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2003-08-22 10:45:52 UTC 
Fixed by calling AC_OUTPUT() on smbadduser
Comment 5 Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2003-08-25 10:56:31 UTC 
forgot to mark it as fixed
Comment 6 Gerald (Jerry) Carter (dead mail address) 2005-02-07 08:41:22 UTC 
originally reported against 3.0.0beta3.  CLeaning out 
non-production release versions.

sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.

database cleanup
