similar to: /var/run/samba/locking.tdb not initialised

Hi all, I just figured out something that I could not find any solutions on any where, and thought I'd share it with you. Initially I had a standard rpm install from the distribution for Samba (2.2.1a). A new fix version came out and since the rpm version was older I decided to switch to installing from src (2.2.2). Then in a weak moment I executed an online software upgrade, in

HI, I recently upgraded from SAMBA 2.0.7 to SAMBA 2.2.2. I downloaded the binaries (from samba.org binary packages) for HP UX 10.20. I am able to map drives and print however when I execute smbstatus (even at the root level) I get connections.tdb not initialised. This file does not exist in the /var/opt/samba/locks directory. I changed my log level to 3 to try to see what is going on but

Hi! I've been fighting with Samba for over a week now and I can't seem to work it out. It all started when I installed the standard samba (2.2.1a-4) which came with RH7.2. I ran "smbstatus" and got the following error: Failed to open byte range locking database ERROR: Failed to initialise locking database Can't initialise locking module - exiting. I've tried the

i have taken a default intel redhat 7.2 machine which came with samba 2.2.1a and removed samba, samba-common, samba-client and samba-swat. i also removed /etc/samba and /var/lock/samba and all samba log files i then installed the samba RPM for samba 2.2.5 from: http://se.samba.org/samba/ftp/Binary_Packages/redhat/RPMS/7.2/samba-2.2.5- 1.i386.rpm i then installed this with rpm -ivh

Hi all, i am trying to run Samba 2.2.3a under a RedHat 7.2 i386 machine. After i compiled and installed the packages, i made a smb.conf up. Just some standard stuff nothing special. Now, when i start smbd and then check it with smbstatus it gives me this error : Samba version 2.2.3a Service uid gid pid machine ---------------------------------------------- tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not

Hi, I'm running samba-3.5.6 (Debian/stable, PowerPC) on a small LAN (really small, 1 Mac client, 1 Windows client) serving 3 shares (1 ro, 2 rw) to both of them and I noticed that /var/run/samba/locking.tdb sometimes grows to several megabytes in size. My /var/run is a tmpfs mountpoint, 10MB in total. locking.tdb is currently 4MB in size, sometimes it grew even bigger and one time even

Greetings, After recently upgrading Samba from 2.0.7 to 2.2.2 on my Solaris Unix servers, I have problems running command 'smbstatus'. When I run smbstatus as root, it correctly displays connection information for users who've mapped network drives to server shares. However, when I run smbstatus as non-root, instead of displaying connection information, it issues the message

Hi, server Kernel: Linux 2.4.21 server Samba: 2.2.3a-12.3 from Debian package Client : Win2k (& XP?) We have a problem where when someone browses a directory on a share they see a LONG (~1 minute?) pause. The server is very lightly loaded. This doesn't seem to happen if they are logged on as nobody/guest, only if they are logged on as a user; it happens for multiple

Hi, I have been trying to get Samba 2.2.2 to run on HP-UX 11.00 64 bit, but seem to be running into problems with the locking databases. (Note : this is running the smb.conf file from the examples directory in SAMBA 2.2.2). I have tried to two different servers and both of them generate the same result described below. The problem I have hit is after compiling samba and starting up the system

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I am just curious, about the following: I've upgraded from 3.0.1pre3 to 3.0.1rc2 and found that running testparm gives me sessionid.tdb not initialised, and then outputs what is expected. Everything else seems to work as before. I'm using Mandrake 9.2, with SRPMS built by Buchan Milne rebuilt locally, but without changes from the

I have successfully implemented Samba in the past but I am now perplexed by a new installation which fails smbstatus with the message: "tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/brlock.tdb: No such file or directory Failed to open byte range locking database "tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file /var/cache/samba/locking.tdb: No such file or directory ERROR:

Afternoon, I'm running OpenBSD 3.1, and since being informed that since 2.2.3a contains a bug I should upgrade to 2.3.4 - which I've done. I've installed this from source, and havn't seen any reason to believe the build process didn't work properly (Other than having duplicated binaries in /usr/local/samba/bin/ and in /usr/source_distributions/samba-2.2.4/source/bin/smbd

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

Hi all, Please excuse me if this question is not appropriate for this forum: Lets assume that samba server crashed or was shut down abnormally, while users where holding open files in the server. In this case, I've noticed that locking.tdb is not being cleaned when samba is restarting. I was wondering why shouldn't it be cleaned. Thanks, Nir

Gurus, I have downloaded and compiled 3.0.2a. I can map from 2000 to my share fine. If I try a smbstatus I get errors, see below. Can someone please point me in the right direction? smbstatus -s /usr/local/etc/meltwk-tst02.conf -d 10 edited to keep it short but this error about not having this charset repeats about 10 times.
