For the sake of it, can you check whether there is a /etc/samba/smbpasswd file. > (Reading database ... 34359 files and directories currently installed.) > Unpacking samba (from .../samba_3.0.21b-1_i386.deb) ... > Setting up samba (3.0.21b-1) ... > Generating /etc/default/samba... > TDBSAM version too old (0), trying to convert it. > TDBSAM converted successfully. These messages probably come from this piece of code in the postinst: db_get samba/tdbsam || true PDB_MIGRATE="${RET}" # Done with debconf now. db_stop umask 066 # FIXME: disable if ldapsam support is enabled? # FIXME: we don't want to pass these through the smbpasswd backend, # some of the faking can cause us problems! if [ "${GENERATE_SMBPASSWD}" = "true" -a ! -e /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb -a ! -e /etc/samba/smbpasswd ]; then getent passwd | /usr/sbin/mksmbpasswd > /etc/samba/smbpasswd pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam rm /etc/samba/smbpasswd fi In your case, you probably answered "Yes" to the question about: Template: samba/generate_smbpasswd Type: boolean Default: false _Description: Create samba password database, /var/lib/samba/passdb.tdb? Could you try to run manually, after the install: getent passwd | /usr/sbin/mksmbpasswd > /etc/samba/smbpasswd pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam Then send here the content of /etc/samba/smbpasswd if these commands output what you reported? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
