You are most likely missing the information that is in the chapter on
locking in the new HOWTO I am working on. You may find this "work in
progress" document at:
http://samba.org/~jht/NT4migration/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf
I hope it helps. If not, please let me know so that by the time the
document is finished it WILL have everything needed for the next person
who asks your type of question.
Cheers,
