Hello,

after reading #385254 and
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/msdfs.html
"...
Those who package Samba for commercial distribution with operating
systems and appliances would do well to take note that tdb files can get
corrupted, and for this reason ought to be backed up regularly.
..." and
"The tdbbackup utility can safely be run at any time."

I think we do not loose anythink if we add the something like the
suggested "cd /var/lib/samba;tdbbackup *.tdb" to debian/samba.cron.daily

What do you think?
