[Samba] Help with smbpasswd file

[Gaiseric Vandal]

The "testparm -v" will let you see which smb.conf  file is being used 
and what the settings are.  If the default settings for passwd file and 
private directory are not to your liking you can specify the in the 
smb.conf file


e.g.

# testparm -v | grep -i priv
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
....
     smb passwd file = /var/lib/samba/private/smbpasswd
     private dir = /var/lib/samba/private
