Description Andrzej Czajewski 2005-08-24 10:52:22 UTC 
I'n using samba 3.0.14a on FC4 and i've got 
problem with passdb backend creation during instalation:

I've got merely untouched smb.conf (comparig to disto-s) with smb.loki.conf
included at the last line.
All my settings are in smb.loki.conf including 
passdb backend = tdbsam .

With this smbpasswd and tdbedit didn't undestand that i wanted tdb backed 
and were creating smbpasswd instead of passdb.tdb and smb daemon was looking
for passdb.tdb causing errors in log file, and  authentication problems.

After moving passdb backend statement to main smb.conf everything worked fine.

For me looks like smbpasswd and pdbedit didn't read included configfile.

regards
Andrzej Czajewski

Please include the smb.conf files in question. 

Is there a dot in your "passdb backend = " line or was that part of the sentence?

(In reply to comment #1)
No that was just sentence ending.

Both smb.conf and smb.loki.conf attached.
Now at line 21 in smb.conf there is passdb backend statement,
without it there ( it was still in smb.loki.conf ) the problem occured.

Just tried it with latest 3_0. Works for me.

Please retry with a later version. If the problem persists, please provide a minimal smb.conf (should be doable in very few lines).

Thanks,

Volker
