Hi Josh and Dimitri,
thanks for your comments.

I tested  samba 3.0.21b and can confirm that in CentOS 4.2 the directory
selected is /var/cache/samba

I build the rpm like this in CentOS 4.2:
tar xzf samba-3.0.21b.tar.gz
cd samba-3.0.21b/packaging/RHEL/
sh makerpms.sh

I will keep using /var/cache/samba/ since I plan to manually build and update
my samba installation from samba.org

HTH

I noticed this too (and it tripped me up until I noticed it).

Anyone can confirm this list of distro/.tdb directory:
Fedora: /var/cache/samba
CentOS4: /var/lib/samba
RH9: /var/lib/samba

Unless I'm missing something, samba-3.0.10-1.4E.2.i386.rpm, as
included with CentOS 4.2, uses /var/cache/samba.  Older Fedora
.src.rpms from the Samba site used /var/lib/samba, so if you're
upgrading from there, that explains the change.
