[Sheflug] Samba problem

["Ian W. Wright" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I have now managed to get my new linux machine to smbmount the windows boxes
but I seem to have a problem with smbstatus. When I run this I get the
following error message which I can't understand...

Samba version 2.2.1a
Service   uid   gid   pid    machine
---------------------------------------
Failed to open byte range locking database
ERROR: Failed to initialise locking database
Can't initialise locking module - exiting

Can someone please explain what this means - what is the 'locking
database' - I can't find it mentioned in any of the literature I've spent
half the day ploughing through ;o(

Best wishes,
Ian
