	<para>Usually, most of the TDB files are stored in the
	<parameter moreinfo="none">lock directory</parameter>. Since
	Samba 3.4.0, it is possible to differentiate between TDB files
	with persistent data and TDB files with non-persistent data using
	the <parameter moreinfo="none">state directory</parameter> and the
	<parameter moreinfo="none">cache directory</parameter> options.
	</para>

	<para> This option specifies the directory where TDB files containing
	important persistent data will be stored.
