I'm on FreeBSD 4.5-stable and have tested this on a few other freebsd machines. It appears that when the files in the locking directory are created, like connections.tdb and what not, locking.tdb is not created and therefore smbstatus fails. I can get locking.tdb from an old 2.2.3 installation and it works fine then, so it appears that its just a problem creating locking.tdb. Does anyone have any ideas? -- David W.
