I'm curious to know where the tdbsam password database file is kept on
my Fedora 7 system. Using the unmodified smb.conf file that shipped
with Fedora 7, I've enabled users using smbpasswd, and successfully
accessed shares. I just can't figure out where the password database
is located:
[root@box ~]# service smb start
[root@box ~]# setsebool samba_enable_home_dirs on
[root@box ~]# touch timestamp
[root@box ~]# smbpasswd -a
[root@box ~]# find /etc /var -newer timestamp
I'm surprised that find doesn't find anything.
My smb.conf file has the following relevant entries in the global section:
workgroup = MYGROUP
server string = Samba Server Version %v
security = user
passdb backend = tdbsam
Here is information about my Samba binary:
[root@box ~]# smbd -b

[Samba] Where is the tdbsam password database file?

How can that be? Tim
