This was a mistake introduced into the RPM specfile during a
recent set of merges.  When it was realized, the 3.0.21b-1 rpm was
pulled from samba.org and a new set of RPMs posted.  The tdb files
should live in /var/lib/samba/

Actually, stock RHEL4 rpms for their 3.0.10-1.4E.2 version use /var/cache/samba/.

Does this change in the packaging reflect a "sea change" towards use of /var/lib/samba/ for the future? (I.E. Can we "expect" future RHEL-distributed packagings to adopt use of /var/lib/samba/ as well?)
