Well I went from centos 5 to 6 and copied over my smb.conf and everything worked fine I can't remember if I copied over the smb passwords or just created them again with smbpasswd, but I have not used tdbedit, so I didn't realize that it is the preferred method now. And now that I've looked at it, smbpasswd is still supported, but I don't know for how long. :P On 2/20/2013 2:01 PM, Eric Cope wrote: > Lee, > you're right. tdbedit is the command. > Thanks, > Eric > > > On Wed, Feb 20, 2013 at 1:01 PM, Lee Reynolds > wrote: > > Glad to hear you have it working. > > Your question about tbdsam kind of stumped me in that I had no > idea where samba stored this information. > > After some searching around, I found out that the tbdsam files are > stored in /var/lib/samba/private (On Centos 6.x at least) > > But I'm not finding the command you're mentioning, tbdconfig.
