it is know that the mysql passwd backend is buggy/not working with samba
3.0.20. (maybe it's fixed in the new release ??)
the fact that you have a mysql.so, tells me that you build the module as
shared library.
here are some thoughts:
1) try renaming the module to pdb_mysql.so
2) build it as static (./configure --with-expsam=mysql
--enable-static=mysql)
3) use a samba version prior to 3.0.20 ( <- 3.0.14 )
i couldn't make the mysql module work either, so we're still running the
11 version...

Hello everybody,
For those who have followed the mysql plugin compilation problem, here
are some new information:
I have tryed everything to make it work from the debian sources, not
successfully.
So i have downloaded the TGZ sources from samba.org (version is 3.0.20).
I have started the basic ./configure
script with params --with-expsam=xml,mysql
--with-mysql-prefix=/usr/include/mysql/
It worked so i started to make the compilation. It also have compiled
successfully. But as usual with the debian source version, it did not
compile any pdb_mysql.so. The only thing i get is a mysql.so lib, but it
cant be loaded as a plugin...
Any idea is really welcome, since i begin to lose the faith :)
Bye bye and thank you all!

hmm.. try
./configure --with-expsam=mysql --with-shared-modules=pdb_mysql
mysql lib's in the: /usr/lib/mysql (symlink will do)
mysql headers in the: /usr/include/mysql (symlink will do)
you can compile the mysql_backend into samba so there isn't an
external module !
your problem is that samba can't find the header files from mysql (.h)
I think that the guy's from debian left the mysql backend out,
coz' it's somewhat experimental, and lackes support..
never the less, it works, and we have it up and running for almost
2years now!!
have fun

First i would like to say hello to everybody here, because i am new
to this ML.
So here is the description of my problem:
I began with a clean samba installation from the stable branch few
monthes ago, everything was just fine, i have a linux box which was
sharing files for another linux workstation and two WinXP laptops.
The sharing linux box is a debian stable branch O/S, which is my
choice for a long time now.
Few weeks ago, i decided to make my sparkling samba installation
virtual-users aware, and i began to crawl on various websites, all
explaining the smb.conf parametters to give. I figured out that i was
just not able to make it run because of a main problem, the apt-get
samba gave me a non mysql-powered-samba version :(
So i removed the samba package from the computer, and dowloaded the
debian source of it. Basic source, untared, and had a look to the
debian/rule file. I saw there was any parametters given about mysql
building, so i also had a look at the configure script's options. It
always compiles the brand new warm .deb packages (after i fixed some
lacky dependencies, i had to make a fake mysql-common package by
myselve, because i already had mysql installed from sources and did
not want to install the deb package, etc...). I'm now totally lost, i
have try everything and i can't get this pdb_mysql.so "plugin" ready :(
So maybe i have miss something, maybe there is another way to make it
as i wish to be, maybe there is a simple way to indirectly link samba
to mysql with pam (I don't know PAM rules at all, i neither don't
know how it works).
It has been 4 days i'm looking for a solution, mailing random people
i find on websites, no answers from them.
Please if somebody has any clue, let me know a link, a sound, a
color, anything to find a way to make it work...
Anything to make it work from the stable .deb packages appreciated too.
Thank you a lot!
Pierre.
P.S.: Here is the current configure parametters i use extracted from
my rule file:
--cache-file=./config.cache --with-fhs --enable-shared
--enable-static --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libdir=/etc/samba
--with-privatedir=/etc/samba --with-piddir=/var/run/samba
--localstatedir=/var --with-netatalk --with-pam --with-syslog
--with-utmp --with-readline --with-pam_smbpass --with-libsmbclient
--with-winbind --with-msdfs --with-automount --with-tdbsam
--with-ldap --with-python=python2.3 --with-mysql --enable-mysql
--with-mysql-prefix=/usr/local/mysql --with-expsam=mysql
