The advanced Windows account facilities are available only with the tdbsam or ldapsam backends. It is very easy to migrate to tdbsam. Here are the steps: 1. Edit smb.conf to include this line: passdb backend = tdbsam 2. Migrate your smbpasswd file to tdbsam: pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam Done. - John T. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
