samba - Jun 2005 - pdb_init_sam errors on upgrade to Samba 3

Hi,

I have been running Samba 2.2 on a server without any problems until
recently. We're currently in the process of upgrading our aging NT
workstations, and replacing them with new machines running XP Pro.
Yesterday I was bitten by a printing problem, which I think is bug 1147
in the bug database. In order to fix this, I have upgraded the server to
Samba 3.0.14. It's running Debian Woody, so I've used packages from
backports.org for this.

Since this upgrade, I'm having a problem with at least 1 user account.
Whenever this user tries to connect to a share, Samba prompts for
authentication, and authetication always fails. I get the following
error in the log file:-

[2005/06/28 08:36:26, 0] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_info3(1195)
  make_server_info_info3: pdb_init_sam failed!

It may be pertinent that this user has a different unix username from
Windows one, and I'm using the "username map" in samba to point to
a
file with the mappings.

The Samba server is a domain member server, running with security=domain
and authenticating against an NT4 PDC (due to be replaced with
Samba/LDAP in due course).

Any help would be appreciated,

Mike.

Better read the relerase notes for the 3.0.8 (IIRC)
release about the changes to username map semantics when
dealing with domain users.
