I am trying to run Samba on linux 7.2. When I run the smbpasswd utility, it
returns an error "Failed to open etc/samba/secrets.tdb." This also
shows in
the log as:
[2002/02/13 14:04:36, 0] passdb/secrets.c:secrets_init(47)
Failed to open etc/samba/secrets.tdb
I believe this is also preventing Samba from running at all:

Hi Wade,
Believe that you mean "/etc/samba" instead of "etc/samba"
(no leading "/")
- this is probably preventing samba from finding the file.

Mark the / on the beginning.
