[GLLUG] Ubuntu configuration cache

Samba got messed up and I decided to just uninstall and reinstall it. But,
even though I did a "complete removal" in synaptic, when I reinstalled,
everything came back configured just as before. In particular, running
pdbedit -L shows the same users as before even though the samba users file
was deleted (and indeed does not even exist in the /etc/samba directory.
So, clearly things are getting cached somewhere and I'll need to manually
delete them to really do a fresh install. But I can't find it. Anyone
know where such things might be kept? I did try "locate samba" after the
uninstall, but nothing of note showed up. (I will try a "locate .*samba to
try to find hidden files/dirctories later today).
Thanks in advance.
