If you were using smbpasswd as the passdb backend, note that the default
changed to tdbsam in version 3.4.0.
To continue to use smbpasswd, you would have to declare it in smb.conf.
passdb backend = smbpasswd.

You could also export your existing smbpasswd to tdbsam.
The |pdbedit| tool allows import/export of authentication (account)
databases from one backend to another. For example, to import/export
accounts from an old |smbpasswd| database to a /|tdbsam|/ backend:
|root# |*|pdbedit -i smbpasswd -e tdbsam|*
Replace the /|smbpasswd|/ with /|tdbsam|/ in the /|passdb
backend|/ configuration in |smb.conf|.
