samba - Mar 2006 - Corrupt sam database in Samba, cant add users or change pass

Hello, this is my first post

Hi, I'm having a problem here...
After (stupidly) trying to change an username  I'm having problems reported
by smbpasswd and pdbedit: "build_sam_account: smbpasswd database is
corrupt! "

I would really appreciate any help with this, as I have users not bein able to
login into the domain anymore, nor the new users that I try to add!!
Please let me know which information could be useful

Regards from Buenos Aires, Argentina
Carlos

The first thing you have to check is the relation between smbpasswd 
(username,uid) and /etc/passwd(username,uid).

If an account from smbpasswd is missing in /etc/passwd you cannot
manage users any more.

Hope this will help.
