samba - Jun 2002 - Error: Failed to initialise locking database

Greetings!

After successfully setting up the printer using my RedHat Linux 7.2 (using
command-line interface), and after installing my ethernet card (again, using
command-line interface), I've tried to setup my linux server to share the
printer with Windows-based machines.

I thought I pretty much did everything right, but when I type a
"smbstatus", I get the following:
>Samba version 2.2.1a
>Service      uid     gid     pid     machine
>---------------------------------------------
>Failed to open byte range locking database
>ERROR: Failed to initialise locking database
>Can't initialise locking module - exiting
Where can I look (I assume in the smb.conf file) to find out where the problem
may be?
 
Thanks for any help you can offer to this question.  Not even a search on google
produced much help...

Hi,

this is no error - the database will be created at first login from a client.
After login you can start smbstatus and there will no error displayed!
