First don't forget to reply to Rowland, he's question has sense. samba-tool user list ltdb: tdb(/var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/lib/samba/private/sam.ldb: *Permission denied* --> You should have run that command with a non-root user. A root user would not face such issue as root can access all files. Perhaps you can deal with files permissions to avoid that but I would rather advise you to run these command as root or specifying a username with -U to switch user Regarding first command which was to add some user, I expect same issue: the command must write something in files (in your users database, the new user) and it can't as you are not root. Retry using sudo or after switching to root account.
