Probably your old Samba stored secrets.tdb somewhere else (e.g.
/var/cache/samba/private or /etc/samba/private). If you find the old
file just copy it into the new location and everything should start
working again. If you can't find it you'll need to re-add the machine
to the domain.

Cheers,
Adam.
