I'm also seeing this issue with smbpasswd -a on samba 3.2.4-1, debian
lenny.. However pdbedit -a -u username works for me.
smbpasswd works for changing the password after being added with pdbedit
Regards,
Mark

Hi,
I'm having difficulty creating new user accounts.
Attempting to create a new user account using smbpasswd fails, as
follows:
#smbpasswd -a guest
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Unable to modify TDB passwd: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL!
Failed to add entry for user guest.

# pdbedit -a -u guest

retype new password:
Unable to modify TDB passwd: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL!
Unable to add user! (does it already exist?)
The user does not exist in the Samba database:
# pdbedit -L -u guest
Username not found!
The unix account exists:
# cat /etc/passwd | grep 'guest'
guest:x:1059:1061::/var/empty:/bin/false
# cat /etc/group | grep 'guest'
guest:x:1061:
Versions:
# smbd -V
Version 3.2.3
# uname -srmo
Linux 2.6.27-7-server x86_64 GNU/Linux
All commands are run as root on the Samba PDC.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
