On a new installation, I am trying to configure the server as an additional domain controller.
Samba says:
(preamble ....)
realm is douglas.local
tdb(/var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb: No such file or directory

I checked, and there is no .tdb file, so I created an empty one with touch, and the message is still the same.
Extra info - the existing domain controller is Windows SBS 2k3 with AD prepared for Windows 2008 R2 (I was going to use 2008 R2, until I found Zentyal).
Any suggestions, anyone? I am really reluctant to abandon, and continue with MS stuff.
Pete.
