I'm using GADMIN-SAMBA program on Linux for administering Samba server, and in the list of users in the "Users" tab in the first row there is the following data:
"WARNING" "Group name not found" "No value has been set" "No value has been set"`
When I select this row and click "Delete" button, the following message appears:
Could not remove the samba user: WARNING
And the row remains unchanged.
I could not find any records with a user named "Warning" in /etc/smb.conf, /etc/samba/smbusers files and in /var/samba/profiles directory. How can this record be removed from the users list?
If I'm not mistaken, the problem is (1) you have no users added to the SAM database, or (2) that you do not have the following SAM files available for pdbedit to read:
/etc/samba/private
passdb.tdb
secrets.tdb
Since samba makes use of pdbedit -L to generate a user list to be displayed. If you either (1) have no users, or (2) do not have the SAM files available, you will generate an error attempting to access that information. It appears that GADMIN is taking the first line returned (the error) as the user and attempting to display it. You cannot delete this.
