[Samba] Linux 2.6.31, samba server no longer working

I wonder if this is similar to what I was seeing with 3.4.2 today. Are you
bound to AD or is it stand alone? I kept seeing a permission denied message
in the log files when trying to access the Kerberos keytab file. I coughed
it up to backporting 3.4.2 to Debian Lenny and there was a problem with
using krb5 1.6 instead of 1.7. I didn't feel like backporting Kerberos too
to test that threory, I need to get these machines up, so I just installed
my patched version of 3.2.5.

This is stand-alone. It should be very simple, with just password
authentication. I'm not seeing any permission denied in log files.
At least not smbd.log, and I can't seem to find anything in the system
log.

I increased the log level and got something out of log.smbd. It
claiming that the user "millerti" doesn't exist. Some googling
suggested that samba is now using a new user database backend. Using
smbpasswd, I added the missing user with the right password, and
voila, I am able to connect now.

I can't help thinking that you shouldn't have had to do that - a
message of that nature should be logged at the default log level.
