From: Gaiseric Vandal on 29 Jun 2010 08:50 Is this for all users or just some users? If for some users and not others, does "pdbedit -Lv someuser" show anything different? What happens if you delete and recreate a samba account e.g. smbpasswd -x drew smbpasswd -a drew On 06/29/2010 06:06 AM, Alastair Sherringham wrote: > Hello, > > I am using Samba on Debian 5.0 (Lenny) - Samba version 3.2.5.

Nothing much different at all (except obvious, user name, id, home etc.) > What happens if you delete and recreate a samba account > e.g. > smbpasswd -x drew > smbpasswd -a drew I have not tried that yet, I was a little worried about breaking something. I found this "problem" when listing users & grep'ing for Drew, seeing he was not there and trying to make the account - and getting an error ("Unable to add user! (does it already exist?)"). I'll probably try the delete and re-create shortly.
