Has anyone else gotten this error when installing 2.2.alpha1? The install is on kernel 2.2.14 which was running samba 2.0.6 with no problems. Configure runs without a problem, switches used are as follows: --with-smbwrapper --with-smbmount --without-ssl --with-syslog --with-profile --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc/samba.d --mandir=/usr/local/man --with-lockdir=/var/lock/samba.d --with-privatedir=/etc/samba.d make and make install both run without a problem, starting is ok and the shares are available, but when I go for status with smbstatus I get the error "connections.tdb not initialised" I cannot locate any tdb files on the system, the tdb test works correctly. At this point I'm beginning to search through the code to find out where it initialises this database. Thanks! Ed

The smbstatus program needs to be able to open /var/lock/samba.d/connections.tdb read only to display status information. Regards, Tim.

It's the equivalent to "Can't open STATUS.LCK" in Samba 2.0.x. Your .tdb files should go to /var/lock/samba.d .
