samba - Aug 2003 - Where is the default 'smb.conf' located?

I compiled and installed the latest samba 3.0.0rc1.  I see that the binary
executable was placed in the default location of /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd.

However, I cannot located the default smb.conf file.  I was expecting that
the 'make install' script would have copied this file somewhere onto my
system.

Where is the default 'smb.conf' file located?

There is no /etc/samba directory on my system.

find / -name 'smb.conf' -print

/home/amphus/samba-3.0.0rc1/examples/dce-dfs/smb.conf

The 'samba-3.0.0rc1' is the directory where I extracted the source
tarball
and did the source compile.

find / -name 'smb.conf'

/etc/samba/smb.conf  IIRC

I found the default smb.conf.  Apparently the 'make install' doesn't
copy it
over for you.

Instead, it remains in the source directory:

/home/amphus/samba-3.0.0rc1/examples/smb.conf.default

I moved the smb.conf.default to the /usr/local/samba/lib/ directory, and
renamed it to smb.conf.  Seems to be working.

I just don't understand why the 'make install' script did not copy
this file
over for me?  Is it done this way on purpose?  If so, that's weird.
