workgroups with samba virtual server

[Martin Rusko]

Hi Yan,
as I wrote in previus messages I did not test it completely, but it is working. 
I didn't take in to consideration, where samba store pid files. But locking is 
no problem. There is a parameter in smb.conf file for that. "lock directory = " 
as I remember. Or not?
