The rules in Makefile make it quite clear that 'samples' is not expected to be part of SUBDIRS. e.g. - The rule for "clean" handles both $(SUBDIRS) *and* samples. - There are separate "install" and "install_samples" targets. However SUBDIRS does contain 'samples'. This means that a simple "make; make install" will over-write your configuration files. So remove 'samples' from SUBDIRS. Note that it has been removed in the past, but then got added back again.
