[Samba] Can these (unused) tdb files be removed after upgrading to 4.1?
I upgraded our 3.6.22 server to 4.1.11 this past week. We're using the non-AD NT4 setup and the upgrade went well except for two users mapping to different uids. I think at least one of these may have been caused by a very old smbpasswd file in /var/lib/samaba/private since the post-upgrade uid was the same as was in this ancient file. This led me to try and clean out old/unused files from the directory. I found a list of tdb locations at https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/TDB_Locations and removed the ntdrivers, ntforms, ntprinters, and unexpected tdbs since they were marked as being removed in 3.6. It's been several days since upgrading and running "ls -ltu" shows that the following tdb files have not been accessed post-upgrade and I was wondering if they can safely be deleted (and if this could be added to the notes on the wiki for the tdb locations): lang_en.tdb mutex.tdb notify_onelevel.tdb winbindd_idmap.tdb
