Hi, I'm preparing to do a migration, but I'm having some doubts. I installed 3.0.14a (from/for Suse) and I successfully joined the domain. When I did a "net rpc vampire -S ..." there were some things that worry me : ... Creating account: Administrator [2005/05/17 12:35:31, 0] passdb/pdb_tdb.c:tdbsam_tdbopen(195) Unable to open/create TDB passwd [2005/05/17 12:35:31, 0] passdb/pdb_tdb.c:tdbsam_getsampwrid(488) pdb_getsampwrid: Unable to open TDB rid database!

I think the messages "Unable to open ..." are normal for a brand-new installation, but the "Could not find unix group 4294967295" is what worries me : that number is a representation of -1. Unix-group -1 does indeed not exist. Also all machine-ID's give the same error. All these errors concern SID -513, except for user Guest, there it's SID -514. Is it normal to have unix-users for machines ($-suffix) ? I do have a "smbusers"-file containing "root = Administrator". net groupmap list gives a list of my groups, but several are linked to unix-group -1 (like Users, Print Operators, Power Users, etc). pdbedit -L give all my users, plus machine-names. But Administrator has it's own linux-account. Then there is a user that has user-number 4294967295 : "Koenraad:4294967295:Koenraad Lelong", that's me, my linux-user-name (koenraad) already existed. smb.conf is enclosed. Is there anything wrong with my procedure/setup ? Any pointers ?
