samba - Jul 2000 - Semaphor Error?

I've just installed Samba on Solaris-8.  When i start 'smbd' the
following errors appear in the 'log.smb' log file:
    # tail ../var/log.smb
    [2000/07/13 13:53:19, 0] locking/shmem_sysv.c:sysv_shm_open(597)
      ERROR: root did not create the semaphore
    [2000/07/13 13:53:19, 0] locking/locking.c:locking_init(174)
      ERROR: Failed to initialise share modes
    [2000/07/13 13:53:22, 4] locking/shmem_sysv.c:sysv_shm_open(544)
      Trying sysv shmem open of size 1048576
    [2000/07/13 13:53:22, 0] locking/shmem_sysv.c:sysv_shm_open(597)
      ERROR: root did not create the semaphore
    [2000/07/13 13:53:22, 0] locking/locking.c:locking_init(174)
      ERROR: Failed to initialise share modes      

I can see the machine in the browse list on my Win98 machine, but can get the
(Unix) samba server to accept any
requests.  I've gone through the trouble shooting doc w/ no luck. And
havn't found any reference to the 'semaphore'
error. I've checked the entries in '/etc/services' and
'/etc/inetd.conf'. And there isn't anything special in my
'samba.conf'
file.

Anyone out there know how to fix this?

I don't know what caused this to happen, but the first thing to try is
stop Samba, clean up your semaphores with `ipcrm' and start it again.

Next thing to try is configure your mailer not to send HTML messages.
It won't directly solve your problem but it may cause more people to
want to help you.
