samba - Dec 2014 - Strange problem with pdbedit -Lv : missing users ?

Dear all,
I have a very strange problem with "pdbedit -Lv" under Samba 3.3.10, a
lot of users and machines are missing ! 

Strangely, all these missing machines and users are working perfectly
well. 

The problem is that I need to get their SID to be able to migrate to a
new server... 

TECHNICAL DETAILS : 

 	* Samba 3.3.10
 	* Number of machines :
 	* Unix : 128 machines
 	* pdbedit -Lv | grep "Unix" | grep "\$" | wc :
 	* 13 machines only
 	* Number of users :

	* Unix : 79 domain users
 	* pdbedit -Lv | grep "Unix" | grep -v "\$" | wc :
 	* 52 users only !

To be honest I don't absolutely need pdbedit to work, if I can list the
SID of all users by some other mean, it will be OK. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Denis 

P. S. I saw somewhere that it could be due to missing Unix users, but
these users are not missing.

What is the backend ?  Can you use tdbdump to dump out the local account 
info from samba password file?

Thank you very much for your answer. 

It's the default, internal backend. (smbpasswd) 

a) If I do : 

tdbdump schannel_store.tdb dump | grep BWPC |grep SECRET | wc 

I get 95 machines (this number looks good). 

b) smbpasswd is a text file that looks good. 

c) I can also do "tdbdump secrets.tdb dump" 

Thanks a lot in advance for any advice,

Dear all, 

This problem is not solved but just to keep you informed I found some
kind of work-around: 

If I do : 

# pdbedit -Lv | grep pmisth 

(Nothing is shown, user is missing from pdbedit ???) 

But I can do this, if I know the user exists: 

# pdbedit -Lv -u pmisth | grep Unix
Unix username: pmisth 

Therefore it doesn't solve the problem, but it is enough for me, as what
I need is this: 

# pdbedit -Lv -u pmisth | grep "User SID"
User SID: S-1-5-21-4267546850-1930090071-418296841-3302
