[Samba] Samba36 error on install - Freebsd 9.2

If I remember correctly, I did something like this in rc.conf

samba_enable="YES"
nmbd_enable="YES"
smbd_enable="YES"
winbindd_enable="NO"

but you find those potential variables in each individual rc-script and 
ajust them to your needs


Also did you see if the directory exists?
ls -lach /var/db/samba
otherwhise create it
mkdir -m 0755 /var/db/samba


Kind Regards
Leander
