If you run : smbd -b | grep ": /" 

You see something like this :  

   SBINDIR: /usr/sbin
   BINDIR: /usr/bin
   CONFIGFILE: /etc/samba/smb.conf
   LOGFILEBASE: /var/log/samba
   LMHOSTSFILE: /etc/samba/lmhosts
   LIBDIR: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
   MODULESDIR: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/samba
   LOCKDIR: /var/run/samba
   STATEDIR: /var/lib/samba
   CACHEDIR: /var/cache/samba
   PIDDIR: /var/run/samba
   SMB_PASSWD_FILE: /etc/samba/smbpasswd
   PRIVATE_DIR: /var/lib/samba/private
   CTDB_SOCKET: /var/run/ctdb/ctdbd.socket 

And your welkom.  

Greetz, 

Louis
