Maybe I should cool off before filing this bug.  No, can't do it.  So, here it is:

It seems that the most basic 1-2-3 functionality does not work in samba.  How did this shit job go into final version?

The most basic functionality being:
1. Adding one user
2. Starting the frigging server

Point number two does not work!!


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Start with installing samba.  Do not touch the smb.conf file

1. Add user silviu_marin-caea (the unix user exists)
getent passwd | grep silviu
silviu_marin-caea:x:1000:100:Silviu Marin-Caea:/home/silviu_marin-caea:/bin/bash

smbpasswd -a silviu_marin-caea
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
tdbsam_open: Converting version 0.0 database to version 4.0.
tdbsam_convert_backup: updated /etc/samba/passdb.tdb file.
Added user silviu_marin-caea.

2. start the server:
rcsmb start
Starting Samba SMB daemon startproc:  exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/smbd: 1
                                                                     done

3. look in log.smbd
  smbd version 3.5.7-1.17.1-2505-SUSE-SL11.4-x86_64 started.

4. Check rights:
ls -l /etc/samba/dhcp.conf

5. Comment out the line in smb.conf
#       include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf

6. Try to start server
  smbd version 3.5.7-1.17.1-2505-SUSE-SL11.4-x86_64 started.

8. chmod a+rw /etc/samba/*.tdb

9. retry starting server

10. Same error in log.smbd

11. FFFFFFUUUUUUU File this bugreport
Actual Results:  
Just crap, useless crap

Expected Results:  
Being able to add an user and start the samba server in the default configuration.

Working samba server.

I'm gonna be sorry for filing an angry bugreport.
