Sorry, you completely lost me.  Does this mean that I can somehow redirect
at least most of the log output to a file in /var/log by adding something
to smb.conf, or does this mean I should just give up on this?

Here's the tale of the tape:

   poweredge:/opt/samba/var# ps auxw | egrep "smb|nmb"
   root     11550  0.0  0.3  3088 1316 ?        S    May01   0:00
   /opt/samba/sbin/smbd -D
   root     11552  0.0  0.3  2188 1240 ?        S    May01   0:12
   /opt/samba/sbin/nmbd -D
   root     11553  0.0  0.2  2116  964 ?        S    May01   0:00
   /opt/samba/sbin/nmbd -D

   poweredge:/opt/samba/var# ls
   log.nmbd  log.smbd  logon


i.e. no locks directory.
