# rpm -q samba
samba-3.2.0-2.17.fc9.i386
did you expect to find something newer from samba site?
fwiw...I set up my home Fedora 9 with tdbsam passdb (I normally use
ldap) on Fedora 9 to test your issues and I'm not having user issues or
any error adding users...
# smbpasswd -a jennifer
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Added user jennifer.
I doubt you want to use the socket options as those are legacy from 2.4
kernel.
But you have introduced a new configuration to the discussion and I'm
wondering which system configuration we are talking about.
