Hello everyone, I'm having a very strange problem that I can't seem to find much documentation on, just a couple of posts that are dead ends. What would cause the locking database not to start? I'm getting the following message from smbstatus: Samba version 2.2.3a Service uid gid pid machine ---------------------------------------------- tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /usr/local/samba/var/locks/brlock.tdb: No such file or directory Failed to open byte range locking database tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /usr/local/samba/var/locks/locking.tdb: No such file or directory ERROR: Failed to initialise locking database Can't initialise locking module - exiting I've reinstalled the default rpm but that didn't work so I tried the latest tar.gz src but still the same message. Do I have a corrupt or missing package? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks, -Dusty
