[Samba] Help with Password file

[Wade Novin]

I am trying to run Samba on linux 7.2. When I run the smbpasswd utility, it 
returns an error "Failed to open etc/samba/secrets.tdb." This also shows in 
the log as:

[2002/02/13 14:04:36, 0] passdb/secrets.c:secrets_init(47)
   Failed to open etc/samba/secrets.tdb

I believe this is also preventing Samba from running at all:

Here is the smb.conf file


# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from Lserver (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2002/02/08 15:33:39

# Global parameters
