the 'Unix Attributes' tab just makes it easier ;-)

OK, try this in a terminal on the Samba AD DC;

samba -b | grep 'PRIVATE_DIR' | awk '{print $NF}'

This should print the path to the private dir that contains 'sam.ldb'

Replace /usr/local/samba/private with whatever the command line above
produces.

You should then get output similar to what I posted earlier, though you
will have to run the commands as 'root' on the Samba DC
