samba - Sep 2009 - Broken samba

Hi,

I'm trying to setup Samba on my linux machine, running openSUSE 11.1 and KDE
4.3, so that I can share a folder with my wife's laptop which is running 
Windows XP.

The following makes me think my samba installation is seriously broken, but I 
don't where to start looking to fix it...

barrowhillfarm:~ # smbd restart
Aborted (core dumped)
barrowhillfarm:~ # smbpasswd -a hils
Failed to open file:///etc/samba/secrets.tdb
Failed to open file:///etc/samba/secrets.tdb

 #5 smbpasswd [0x7f19fba11ac9]

Any suggestions would be gratefully received :)

Possibly one of the libraries that Samba uses has been upgraded, and
Samba is still accessing it as if it was the old version.

Recompiling Samba should fix the problem, and is a good excuse to
upgrade to the latest release while you're at it.

Cheers,
Adam.
