SomeSuSEUser;
You keep getting this message:
“No builtin backend found, trying to load plugin”
This looks like you are missing or have a corrupt library. Try reinstalling Samba and see if the error persists.
The system does not write any parameters into /etc/samba/smb.conf unless you do something. You are either not saving
your edits or maybe rolling back the system (snapper?) I still recommend removing the “passdb backend” parameter and
just use the default backend.
