samba - Jul 2002 - Samba 2.2.5 on PS2-Linux (mips) - can't start smbd

Hi,

I know this isn't a supported platform or anything, but I'm trying to
get
Samba 2.2.5 going on my Playstation 2 (mipsel-linux). There's an RPM for 
2.0.something on the PS2-Linux CD, but I'm always a fan of running the
latest
version.

It compiles okay, as long as I specity ./configure --host=mipsel-linux (not 
"--build=mipsel-linux" for some reason, like most things) and I've
got it
installed. nmbd appears to run okay.

But when I start smbd,  it dies straight away, "ERROR: Samba cannot create
a
SAM SID" is written to the log.

Something in the log says this:
[2002/07/11 10:06:16, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(492)
  tdb(/usr/local/samba/private/secrets.tdb): tdb_oob len 1111638618 beyond eof 
at 8192

That numer looks very large. Could samba be confused about the
'endian-ness'
of my mips processor? (wild guess) - Any definitive way to find out?

Any ideas where else to look? Full details from the log file follow...

Well, it's faster than the old P2 that runs as our home network gateway and 
fileserver, so it has it's uses! :)

The file contains mostly 'B's!
