Where is smbpasswd file located in Fedora 7?


I am configuring Samba on F7, and have added users using 'smbpasswd -a'. From documentation, the smbpasswd password file is supposed to be in /etc/samba, but it's not. A 'locate' on my computer shows the following:
Code:
root [~] $ locate smbpasswd
/usr/bin/mksmbpasswd.sh
/usr/bin/smbpasswd
/usr/share/man/man5/smbpasswd.5.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/smbpasswd.8.gz
/usr/share/swat/help/manpages/smbpasswd.5.html
/usr/share/swat/help/manpages/smbpasswd.8.html
As you can see, the smbpasswd file isn't located at it's normal spot, and the only thing I can guess is that it's called something else (not smbusers, before you guys throw that one at me).
