Re: [TCLUG:22661] Samba Error

["Kelly Black" <blackk100@hotmail.com>]

I have seen that one before Ken.  When I ran in to it, the lock file did not 
exist as the error stated.  I did a touch /var/lock/samba/STATUS..LCK to 
create it, and then started SAMBA, and seemed to work after that.  Not sure 
what condition caused the lock file to get nuked, but after creating an 
empty one, it was happy.
