On a side note, it is a good idea to do a "tdbbackup -v *.tdb" in your
TDB directory on your Samba server periodically (with the SMB service
stopped).  TDB ain't the world's most robust database (replaced with LDB
in Samba 4, and possibly sooner) and does tend to accumulate gook.

Should be somewhere like /var/lib/samba
