[Samba] placing sam.ldb (was dns.keytab doesn't exist)

[Dan Egli]

Would it be better to just re-provision the domain? There's no body in 
it right now but a single test user and a single machine account. It 
would not be hard to simply re-run samba-tool domain provision.

You tell me. I can nuke and start over, or try to fix this install, 
whichever is easier.
