Not deleting modified conffile /mod/etc/secrets.tdb
I then re installed it and got this message....

Installing samba (2.2.12-2) to root...
Downloading http://hummypkg.org.uk/hdrfoxt2/base/samba_2.2.12-2_mipsel.opk.
Configuring samba.
Collected errors:

The file secrets.tdb is a config file so opkg will not replace it if you have modified it. My guess is that you have used smbpasswd to change the password. Most of the configuration for samba is setup in /mod/etc/smb.conf. Since a similar warning message is not shown for that file it seems that it hasn't yet been modified.

The standard configuration should work "out of the box" but you may need to change the 'workgroup' and/or 'hosts allow' settings in 'smb.conf'.
