[Samba] smbd and nmbd

[Joel Hammer]

I don't think those lock files are around unless the daemons are running.
And, depending on how the daemons were compiled, they might be in several
locations.
Where have you looked?
Have you tried locate smbd.pid?
There is a /var/lock/samba directory on my system left over, I believe, from
my original distro specific installation of samba.
