Hi, I'm using a Slackware 7.0 strongly customized. Inside my Linux Box run likely "samba 2.0.7",so i think to upgrade this with new "samba 2.2.0" but after unpacked (samba-2.2.0.tar.gz), configured (--with-smbmount), compiled and installed, I try to run "smbd -D" but I receive in "log.smbd" this message: ----------------------------------------------------------- [2001/04/22 18:57:53, 0] lib/pidfile.c:pidfile_create(101) ERROR: smbd : fcntl lock of file /usr/local/samba/var/locks/smbd.pid failed. Error was Invalid argument ----------------------------------------------------------- and if I try to launch "nmbd -D" I receive the following: ----------------------------------------------------------- [2001/04/22 18:57:53, 0] lib/pidfile.c:pidfile_create(101) ERROR: nmbd : fcntl lock of file /usr/local/samba/var/locks/nmbd.pid failed. Error was Invalid argument ----------------------------------------------------------- I don't know what's happened !!! Can you help me? Regards to all Andrea
