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. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
