I just hit the same situation. The solution described (with "getent -s compat passwd") wouldn't work there because they actually have "passwd: compat" in /etc/nsswitch.conf and a "+::::::" line in /etc/passwd. The smbpasswd was already 2MiB large as I killed the import process.
Can you please un-automate / unbundle the "import accounts" task from the "software installation" task? I just want to install samba, please. Nothing more. If I want to import remote users locally, I can do after installation. If I want to connect samba to Active Directory, I *must* do it after installation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to samba in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/721514 Title: Samba should be more selective when importing accounts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba/+bug/721514/+subscriptions -- Ubuntu-server-bugs mailing list Ubuntu-server-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server-bugs
