Hi list,

I am using Samba 2.2.3a-12 and it works fine, exept for error messages that fill 
up my log files. The messages are:

smbd[1198]: [2003/02/12 22:53:53, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(475)
smbd[1198]:   tdb(/var/run/samba/locking.tdb): expand_file ftruncate to 8192 
failed (Permission denied)
smbd[1198]: [2003/02/12 22:53:54, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(475)
smbd[1198]:   tdb(/var/run/samba/locking.tdb): expand_file ftruncate to 8192 
failed (Permission denied)

The permission of /var/run/samba/locking.tdb is 600 root:root, the process 
trying to access it is an smbd running under a user account, so there seems to 
bee a configuration problem. I chnged the perms to 666 for a few seconds and now 
the log is quiet.

Searching google did not show any solution. What's wrong here?
System is Linux 2.4.18 SMP.

Thanks for any help

	Heinrich
