[Samba] Error Messages during installation
Hi, I installed of Samba on Debian GNU/Linux Sarge. Things went smoothly but I got some "failed" ( error? ) messages like account_policy_get: tdb_fetch_uint32 failed for field 4 (maximum password age), returning 0 at the end. Could someone please explain to me what this is. Is it a serious issue??? or problems with the deb package?? Full details below. Thankyou so much.

Seems like the error messages do not appear when the debian "samba" and "samba-common" packages are installed for the first time. These error messages appear once the samba packages are purged ( i had to do this for some reason) and an attempt is made to reinstall them. Samba gets installed fine and works just fine, but for these error messages. Seems like some sort of verbosity issue and the bug report severity is set as minor. -- Vivek Varghese Cherian Free as in Freedom <www.gnu.org>
