Problem with a Samba share account

[nbdwt73]

I have a Samba share enabled on my 86U (been there for years). Oddly a few days ago my logs complained - ":build_sam_account: smbpasswd database is corrupt!". Is there a way to rebuild (or delete and replace) this file? Thanks

Common problem:

USB Application Accounts messed up RT-AC86U

I have a USB disk that I use for backups. I noticed that the account I was using no longer works for accessing the Samba (SMB) share. I can create another test account and it works fine. This isn't an SMB 1.0/Windows issue. Firmware 3.0.0.4.384.81992 RT-AC86U The way it was originally...

I deleted /etc/samba/smbpasswd and recreated it. So far, no more log entries. Is there a way to delete a particular account (user)? I cannot edit the account nor add a password to it so I want to delete and re-add...

/etc/samba/smbpasswd is a temporary file that is regenerated every time the router boots or a USB device is plugged in.

Did you read the post I linked to?

I did see your original post. I was able to correct my problem using your instructions - now all is well. As always, thanks for your excellent care!
