[Samba] losing print driver associations on reboot

Forwarding to list...  I accidentally sent it to Gerald's personal address.

I built from source, but I've reverted back to 2.2.2, so my 2.2.4
installation is gone.  On 2.2.2, I've got several *.tdb files in
/var/log/samba/locks (which I know is wrong)  I must have entered a
wrong statement when I configured it.  Which configure statement affects
that, and where might a typical location be?  

thanks for your help (again) Gerald
