When using smb-2b.lrp to run a Samba server I couldn't get Windows XP clients
to connect, so I decided to compile some of the latest versions (2.2.3a,
2.2.7a, 2.2.8) of Samba to use. However with these new versions I get the
following error when trying to login from any client (Win2K, smbclient):

  build_sam_account: smbpasswd database is corrupt!  username someuser not in
  unix passwd database!

The odd thing is that the user does exist in /etc/passwd, and everything worked
fine before with smb-2b.lrp (version 2.0.4b).

Similarly, when using smbpasswd to add a user I get the error message:

   User someotheruser does not exist in system password file (usually
/etc/passwd). Cannot add account without a valid local system user.
   Failed to modify password entry for user someotheruser

I've statically compiled these new versions so it shouldn't be a library issue.
Has anybody had any success using Samba (other than the smb-2.lrp & smb-2b.lrp
packages) or knows what the problem might be? Has anybody had success
connecting with WinXP clients when using the smb-2.lrp or smb-2b.lrp packages?
Any help/guesses would be greatly appreciated.
