Hi,

if anybody has updated Samba today under Debian/sid, then there's a
subtle change.  The default passwd mechanism has changed. So unless you
are already using the LDAP thingie, then you is foo'barred!!!

Add this line to the [global] section of smb.conf and restart smbd and
nmbd and everything will return to normal!!  

 passdb backend = smbpasswd, unixsam

This is detailed at:-

Cheers
Chris
