Depends on your distro, but in Slackware, when compiled without
--with-hfs, it's like /var/cache/samba or /var/lib/samba. I'm fairly
sure that it should be in the /var directory. Try doing a 'lsof' and
see if the samba process has anything open from there that isn't a log
file. IIRC, it should be a DBD.
