This happens automatically as soon as you use samba. This problem was fixed in later versions of samba. Suggest you update - samba-2.2.8 is the current stable version. Suggest you do: smbclient //localhost/'share' -U 'username' to affect a connection to a samba resource. You can quit and then run smbstatus again and it should work. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: jht@samba.org
I've installed samba 2.2.8a from rpm,> rpm -i samba-2.2.1a-4.i386.rpmStarted de service with> /etc/init.d/smb start,When I tried smbstatus I received the message below Samba version 2.2.8a Service uid gid pid machine ---------------------------------------------- Failed to open byte range locking database ERROR: Failed to initialise locking database Can't initialise locking module - exiting Could anyone help.
