smb passwords

When running from RAM, samba passwords db should be added to lbu, right ?

lbu inc /var/lib/samba/private/passdb.tdb
lbu inc /var/lib/samba/private/secrets.tdb

Are there other files that could be needed across reboots, out of /etc ?

See last paragraph in this section here:

What_are_tdb_files on samba.org Wiki

“The following tdb's should be backed up IMO:
nt*.tdb account_policy.tdb group_mapping.tdb share_info.tdb winbindd_idmap.tdb secrets.tdb passdb.tdb“
