Effective with the release of samba-3 it is now imperative that the password backend
be correctly defined in smb.conf.
</p><p>
Those migrating from samba-2.x with plaintext password support need the following:
<span class="emphasis"><em>passdb backend = guest</em></span>.
</p><p>
Those migrating from samba-2.x with encrypted password support should add to smb.conf
<span class="emphasis"><em>passdb backend = smbpasswd, guest</em></span>.
</p><p>
LDAP using Samba-2.x systems can continue to operate with the following entry
<span class="emphasis"><em>passdb backend = ldapsam_compat, guest</em></span>.
