samba - Nov 2008 - Want to recreate db.

Hiya

So im trying to get my PDC working. Started off small and then exported 
my smbpasswd to tdbsam with pdbedit.

The next thing I saw was all the Linux system account (irc, game, mail, 
etc) listed via pdbedit and srvtool's

I think I have done something wrong. I would like to start from scratch 
and clear restart the tdb's

My question is, can I just delete the tdb files. If not, would anyone 
know what the procedure is (What commands are used when installed from a 
repository,  e.g. apt-get, to generate the SID etc).

Kind Regards
Brent Clark

i would do net getlocalsid and netgetdomainsid and write down the SIDs, 
then you can stop samba and delete the .tdb files, then do a net 
setlocalsid and net setdomainsid and then start samba again.
