Description g 2012-01-12 12:37:27 UTC
upgrading from centos4:samba-3.0.33 to centos6:samba-3.5.10.  "smbd -b|less" says "SMB_PASSWD_FILE: /var/lib/samba/private/smbpasswd".  i have brought forward /etc/samba/smbpasswd and /etc/samba/secrets.tdb to /var/lib/samba/private, as well as /var/cache/samba/*.{dat,tdb} to /var/lib/samba, but it still seems to be necessary to smbpasswd -a for every user.  am i missing something, or is it a bug?

The defaults for the passdb backend parameter has changed between 3.0 and 3.5.

In order to make smbd still use the smbpasswd file, you need to add a line 

passdb backend = smbpasswd

to the config.

Or migrate your smbpasswd file to the (now default) tdbsam backend
see man pdbedit and look for the -i option

Please re-open if pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam does not work for you
