Public bug reported: Binary package hint: samba
I think I have found a problem with deleting users in samba/ubuntu. It seems it 'corrupts' the password file. Here is a summary : * I create a unix user called test1 * I create a samba user called test1 (both these commands work fine and i can create as many as i want) * I delete the samba user * I delete the unix user (both these commands work fine) * I create a unix user called test2 (this command works fine) * I create a samba user called test2 (This command fails with this error: Unable to modify TDB passwd: NT_STATUS_UNSUCCESSFUL! Failed to add entry for user test2. Failed to modify password entry for user test2 ) It seems that as soon as I delete the unix user, I can't write the tdb passwords anymore. You should be able to delete and create users at will. Another note, is if I remove samba and reinstall it. I still can't create any samba users. BUT, if i uninstall samba, remove all the files in /var/lib/samba/ and reinstall, I can start the above process again. I have attached a text file will all the commands that I run and their results.
