samba - Nov 2005 - build_sam_account: smbpasswd database is corrupt! affecting samba group mapping?

Hi,

when using

pdbedit -L <user>

we get an error
> build_sam_account: smbpasswd database is corrupt!  username <user>
with
uid <uid> is not in unix passwd database!
> Username not found!
This is because a user is not - as it says - in e.g. /etc/passwd.

Does this affect the functionality of group mappings in the way that this
doesn't work with the mapped unixgroup
and in which the user is in?:

For example: If you do a group mapping like
> net groupmap modify ntgroup="Domain Users"
unixgroup="users"
so you cannot see the group "Domain Users" when browsing the domain
because
of that corruption mentioned in the error message?
We use tdbsam as passdb.

Michael
