Hi, I hope somebody could help me. I'm using a Slackware 7.0 strongly cusomized over a Dual-Processor Hardware, Inside my Linux box run without problems "samba 2.0.7", but after upgrade to "samba 2.2.0" , I have a problem. When I try to run "smbd -D" I receive (in "log.smbd") this message : ------------------------------------------------------ [2001/04/24 19:04:43, 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: ------------------------------------------------------ [2001/04/24 19:04:43, 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 ------------------------------------------------------ Naturally I'm checked the right permission on /usr/local/samba/var/lock, infact "nmbd.pid" file and "smbd.pid" file exists both in /usr/local/samba/var/lock/ but with size "0" So I've tried to compile "samba-2.2.0" with "--with-spinlocks" option but I've the same problem explaned before. Can somebody help me ? Regards to all :) PS: Excuse me for bad English Andrea
