samba on solaris 2.8 not creating STATUS..LCK file

[Daniel_Casey at jbhunt.com]

Subject says it all.  If I start Samba with smbd -D
and look at /usr/local/samba/var/log.smb I get:

[2000/12/14 12:56:38, 1] smbd/files.c:file_init(216)
  file_init: Information only: requested 10000 open files, 1014 are
available.

Pretty normal I believe, but if I type smbstatus, I get:

Couldn't open status file /usr/local/samba/var/locks/STATUS..LCK

The file isn't there and ps -ef | grep smbd shows the process
running.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Daniel
