The "testparm -v" will let you see which smb.conf file is being used and what the settings are. If the default settings for passwd file and private directory are not to your liking you can specify the in the smb.conf file

e.g.

# testparm -v | grep -i priv
Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf
....
    smb passwd file = /var/lib/samba/private/smbpasswd
    private dir = /var/lib/samba/private

Is there a procedure for copying the smbpasswd from an old machine to a new
machine (fresh samba build), and have the new machine recognize the old
smbpasswd file?   Both machines are aix 6.1 and Samba version 3.5.12.   I
copied all of the .tdb files but that didn't seem to work.   The new
machine does not seem to know what is in
/usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd.  Below is my smb.conf
