LOG: postinst The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam' in samba 3.4! That breaks existing setups using the 'smbpasswd' backend without explicit declaration! Please use 'passdb backend = smbpasswd' if you would like to stick to the 'smbpasswd' backend or convert your smbpasswd entries using e.g. 'pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam'. For further information make sure to read the release notes at http://samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.4.9.html and http://samba.org/samba/history/samba-3.4.0.html
