Description Kraml Liu 2009-09-03 06:10:31 UTC 
The example config file /etc/samba/smbusers comes with samba-server-3.3.7 has wrong syntax, its content is:

-----------------------------------------------------
# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/net-fs/samba-server/files/3.3/smbusers,v 1.1 2009/06/26 20:24:11 patrick Exp $

# Syntax:
#   Unix_name: SMB_name1 SMB_name2 ...

root: Administrator admin
nobody: guest pcguest smbguest
------------------------------------------------------

While the correct syntax should be:
Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name2 ...

i.e. the separator is "=" not ":". It is correct in older samba package.

If an admin followed the example it will render the username map configuration totally unusable.

Reproducible: Always
