This is my version, which will be proofread by our official proofreader later:
New Samba Password Configuration Back-End: tdbsam
The new Samba password configuration back-end is tdbsam. Previous Samba
packages shipped with openSUSE 11.1 and earlier were using smbpasswd as the
default passdb backend. It was not explicitly set in the shipped /etc/samba/
smb.conf configuration file. With this openSUSE release two changes are
introduced:
• The new default inherited from source code and if not set otherwise is
tdbsam.
• The new default is also explicitly set in smb.conf.
If you have modified smb.conf on openSUSE 11.1 or earlier, the update process
will install smb.conf.rpmnew and keep your old configuration.
Check in the old configuration file whether passdb backend was set. If not,
there are two possibilities to get Samba running again:
• Convert smbpasswd to tdbsam (recommended!); enter as root on the command
line:
pdbedit -i smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd -e tdbsam:/etc/samba/passdb.tdb
And ensure the global section of smb.conf has such an entry:
passdb backend = tdbsam
• Set passdb backend = smbpasswd
We strongly recommend using the new default tdbsam. Only keep the old back-end
if you have an absolute need. In this case, consider filing a bug report as
suggested at http://en.openSUSE.org/Samba in the "Samba bug reporting and
advanced debugging information" section.
Setting passdb backend = smbpasswd allows you to stay with the old
configuration.
Keep in mind, the old tool provides a smaller feature set than the new default
password configuration back-end tdbsam.
