Next time:
[bgmilne@bgmilne rpm]$ rpm -qc samba-common
/etc/samba/lmhosts
/etc/samba/smb-winbind.conf
/etc/samba/smb.conf

- Moved all samba files from /etc to /etc/samba (Thanks DomS!).
   Fixed fixinit patch (/etc/samba/smb.conf)


/etc/samba has been the default location for a long time. AFAIK, most 
other distros have it here also, as do the official samba RPMs (build 
for Redhat). We were requested by John Terpstra (official packager for 
the samba team) to move the files back in May last year, for LSB 
compliance for samba.

What do you mean??? What is 'reinitialising'?

What? Webmin? Last time I tried webmin it was set for /etc/samba/smb.conf
