Hi list, I am using Samba 2.2.3a-12 and it works fine, exept for error messages that fill up my log files. The messages are: smbd[1198]: [2003/02/12 22:53:53, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(475) smbd[1198]: tdb(/var/run/samba/locking.tdb): expand_file ftruncate to 8192 failed (Permission denied) smbd[1198]: [2003/02/12 22:53:54, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(475) smbd[1198]: tdb(/var/run/samba/locking.tdb): expand_file ftruncate to 8192 failed (Permission denied) The permission of /var/run/samba/locking.tdb is 600 root:root, the process trying to access it is an smbd running under a user account, so there seems to bee a configuration problem. I chnged the perms to 666 for a few seconds and now the log is quiet. Searching google did not show any solution. What's wrong here? System is Linux 2.4.18 SMP.
