Clarification on file purposes.

Hi, (I hope I have the right list)

I'm writing some documentation on Samba and I'm wondering as to what
these files are for, and what do they individually do ?

(these seem to be all from the lock directory)
brlock.tdb
browse.dat
connections.tdb
locking.tdb
messages.tdb
namelist.debug
ntdrivers.tdb
ntforms.tdb
ntprinters.tdb
printing.tdb
share_info.tdb
unexpected.tdb

There is also, a secrets.tdb file in the conf directory.  Am I correct
in assuming this is the data file for the Machine SID's ?

There is also no manpage for tdbbackup -- and I'm a little hesitant to
see what happens when I run it on my Samba network = ) Some explanation
on its operation would be teriffic.

Thanks in advance.
