samba - Jan 2011 - PDC broke after upgrade

I upgraded from Debian Lenny (Samba 3.2.5) to Squeeze (Samba 3.5.6) and now
my PDC does not work.

In the past when upgrading from one release to another all of the machine
trust accounts no longer worked but I was able to just rejoin then to the
domain.  Now however the join fails with unknown user and bad password.  I
have always used root and roots password what am I missing?  What changed
between these 2 releases?

What tells

        testparm -s 2>/dev/null | grep passdb
        testparm -sv 2>/dev/null | grep passdb

The first line tells what is defined in the "smb.conf", the second
tells
all pre-defined options too.

Samba 3.5.6 uses "tdbsam", earlier versions have used
"smbpasswd"; you
should look which file ("smbpasswd" or "passdb.tdb") your
old version
has used.
For converting you can use "pdbedit".

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut

Helmut,

         Or did the upgrade convert smbpasswd to  tdbsam and all I need to
do is change my smb.conf?
