[Samba] smbd install/execution failure (V 3.0.23)

[Dean Allen Provins]

Hello:

I installed samba version 3.0.23 this morning for a Debian system (sarge), but
it appears to have failed, and "smbd" will not start.  A snippet from the log
file reads as,

  smbd version 3.0.23 started.

It seems that something is missing (tdbsam?).  Any and all assistance is requested.
