The previous installation of 2.2.8a on > solaris 8 did not get these errors, and the /usr/local/samba/private > directory was empty as well. Is there a way around this? Is there a > parameter I need to set? Thanks! Probably your old Samba stored secrets.tdb somewhere else (e.g. /var/cache/samba/private or /etc/samba/private). If you find the old file just copy it into the new location and everything should start working again. If you can't find it you'll need to re-add the machine to the domain.
