The default passdb backend changed upstream from smbpasswd to tdbsam. To be on the save side we're now using tdbsam explicitly in the SUSE default /etc/samba/smb.conf. We also patch the code to use smbpasswd as default for SUSE products older than 11.2. Where do I find this type of information? a) There was a prominent note available from the release notes when we first had to deliver the new default as part of openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise. b) From the package change log (Fri Jun 12 2009). @Karl: Would it make sense to stress this change in the 11.3 release notes again? -- 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.

The release notes had a section about the required steps. See http://www.novell.com/linux/releasenotes/i586/openSUSE/11.2/ section "New Samba Password Configuration Back-End: tdbsam" It's not the format which changed. It's the default for the passdb backend setting in the code.

I assume it would be possible to convert the account. If I wanted to do a reconfiguration I would have done a new installation. -- 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.

@Karl: Would it make sense to stress this change in the 11.3 release notes again?

Normally, we do not do this. Instead, I could add it to the mannual. Asking coolo (cc). -- 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.
