Er, no.  If you don't want to use this, then *don't enable the
smbpasswd-migrate profile*.  You should not be editing this file.

Title:
  gnome-screensaver failure - can't access samba password database - not
  running as root

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  Entry in auth.log after I logged back in to a locked screen.

  May 12 17:55:32 wt gnome-screensaver-dialog: pam_smbpass(gnome-screensaver:auth): Cannot access samba password database, not running as root.
  May 12 17:55:32 wt gnome-screensaver-dialog: gkr-pam: unlocked 'login' keyring 

  
  I got logged in but think something is wrong with the way that gnome-screensaver-dialog is access password db's.

  Can you help?
