By stracing, I found that it was winbind messing. When shutting down
winbind (I don't use it anyway), and removing its pid file
/var/run/samba/windbindd.pid and the socket
/var/run/samba/windbindd_privileged/sock and restarting samba it now works!
To me, this is a major bug. Samba shouldn't fail completely just because
winbind fails, if I've told it to use smbpasswd or tdbsam, or am I wrong
here?
Btw, it works with my previous setting (smbpasswd), so I'm happy as it
is. But someone needs to explain why one service should cause another to
die, when it's not needed in the first place.
Regards,
Gustaf
