samba error in client log file

Can anyone tell me why I get this error message in the log file.

Error : UNIX and SMB uids in password files do not match for user 'walliske'!
[2002/03/22 07:03:48, 0] smbd/password.c:(513)

You have a samba password file (smbpasswd) with a mismatching UID. From the smbpasswd man page:

uid

This is the UNIX uid. It must match the uid field for the same user entry in the standard UNIX passwd file. If this does not match then Samba will refuse to recognize this smbpasswd file entry as being valid for a user.

Mike-

how did you make your users? did you use the smbpasswd -a command? The smbpasswd -a command should take the user (uid, gid) from /etc/passwd and put in the samba's password file.

Hy!

Check your file users.map in samba/lib directory.

for ms user ex.:barfra01 to acces samba on Unix, assign a equivalence for Unix user.

ex.: barfra01 = root
barfra01 = barif0

George A Bodnar's answer did the trick. Thank you.

Mark to answer your question I added a reviced /etc/passwd a mothe ago when some network changes were made. I have to redue file ownership on the system then. THe smbpasswd file had the old UID in it.
