yep, smb.conf, smbpassword, codepages subdirs et al. are placed under
$(LIBDIR).
obviously there's no parameter to ./configure just to change smb.conf's
directory.

however, you can hack the Makefile after you have run ./configure and
change the
CONFIGFILE line as Mike suggested. or you override this path by
specifying
-s /path/to/smb.conf when starting nmbd/smbd ...

HTH :)
