samba - Dec 2004 - "No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe"

Hello Samba folks,
 
    A couple years ago I installed Samba 2.2.0 on our HP9000 running hpux
10.20.
I am now trying to install it on a customer's HP9000 and am getting the
error 
"No locking available. Running Samba would be unsafe" while executing
the
configure command. I got that error a couple years ago and resolved it by
linking /usr/bin/cc and /opt/ansic/bin/cc but that is not working this time.
I also
tried linking /usr/bin/cc and /usr/ccs/bin/cc but that did not work either.
Any
ideas?
 
- Bill

1.  What version of HP-UX?
2.  What version of Samba (or HP CIFS Server)?
3.  What is nflocks set to?
4.  Do a "testparm | grep lock" and send in the results.

Hi Bill,

I am not sure if this is your problem, but 2.2 will take about 20 locks 
per client connection, so you will run out of locks at 10 connections 
with nflocks set at 200.  You will need to bump that up, along with 
nfiles and nproc.

Of course, you should not be on 10.20, or 2.2.0, but I suppose you know 
that.
