/usr/bin/pdbedit failed :
Unable to modify TDB passwd ! Error: Record exists
 occured while storing the RID index (RID_000007da)

/usr/bin/pdbedit -L shows the appropriate entry
Deleted linux user; ZTL would not create new web; complained about MySQL
deleted MySQL user; ZTL would not create new web; complained about Postgres (hey, I see a pattern here)
deleted Postgres user; ZTL would not create new web; complained about ZTL user
deleted SAMBA user "smbpasswd -x mtexas"

I could not find a way to delete a ZTL user.  "/usr/bin/pdbedit -L" does not list the user mtexas because it was removed with smbpasswd.

Obviously I'm missing something, but I don't know what it is.  I could probably just create the web with a different user, but I could see that leading to problems with orphaned users left lying about.

The user mtexas did not exist prior to the attempt to create this web.

Is there a way to make these additions atomic and roll them back if incomplete?

Probably, you have changed samba root account manually with 'smbpasswd'

 You can try  to create the web with a user mtexas once again.

Yes I did.  I did not see the web option a few days ago and I set it so I could join machines to the domain.

It was a test machine, so I just reinstalled.  It didn't do this when I created the web with a fresh install.

Thank you!
