[Samba] samba PDC problems

[David "3oz" Sonenberg]

Tried that and that didn't work either, here's the
output:
[root at samba root]# smbpasswd -a root
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Unable to open/create TDB passwd
pdb_getsampwnam: Unable to open TDB passwd
(/etc/samba/secrets.tdb)!
Unable to open/create TDB passwd
tdb_update_sam: Unable to open TDB passwd
(/etc/samba/secrets.tdb)!
Failed to add entry for user root.
Failed to modify password entry for user root
[root at samba root]# cat /etc/samba/s
secrets.tdb      smb.conf         smb.conf.rpmnew 
smbusers
[root at samba root]# cat /etc/samba/smbusers
# Unix_name = SMB_name1 SMB_name2 ...
root = administrator admin
nobody = guest pcguest smbguest

I'm thinking it may be a permissions problem.  Samba
is running as root(this is RH Enterprise ES 3).  Here
what the /etc/samba dir looks like:

[root at samba root]# ls -la /etc/samba/
total 40
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     root         4096 Aug  4
17:06 .
drwxr-xr-x   61 root     root         4096 Aug  4
