I had the same issue. To resolve, I had to convert from smbpasswd to
tdbsam for my passdb backend (wasn't running LDAP). This is because
smbpasswd does NOT support the extended parameters you see in pdbedit.
Then I was able to change the parameters. tdbsam is a better passdb
backend than smbpasswd (more configurable), it just won't let you use a
text editor on the file. ;-)
From a post by John Terpstra (
http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2003-October/075558.html ):
If you have your accounts in smbpasswd and you want to migrate them to
tdbsam:
In smb.conf:
passdb backend = smbpasswd, tdbsam
Execute:
pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam
And so on. After migration you can delete the backend that you no longer
need to use from the "passdb backend" parameter line.

as you can see the profile path is not correct. and I check that the
ya-1 user was a vaild smb user. I can log on to the domain with them
and write to shares and use different domain resources.
And as far as why it does show the NT username I dont know.

What passdb are you using? LDAP TDB?

Hello all,
Could someone give me the command line to edit the profile path of a users?
I have tried this with no results.
"pdbedit -u someuser -p "\\\\server\\path"
There has to be better documentation.
