15 LOG: postinst
16 The default passdb backend has been changed to 'tdbsam' in samba 3.4!
17 That breaks existing setups using the 'smbpasswd' backend without
18 explicit declaration!
19 Please use 'passdb backend = smbpasswd' if you would like to stick to the
20 'smbpasswd' backend or convert your smbpasswd entries using e.g.
21 'pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam'.
