Hi all,

Just taken over the Samba admin after a resignation.
I'm seeing database corruption due to users being removed from the NIS passwd files prior to removing from Samba.
I have tried recreating the accounts and then deleting from Samba but am still getting errors explaining that the
username <blah> with uid <blah> is not in unix passwd database!
Have tried with pdbedit and smbpasswd.

Any ideas please?

Thanks
