Yes. There is nothing wrong. This error message has been generated because
the locking database has not yet been created. It gets created
automatically the first time any client connection is made.

This problem has been fixed in later versions of samba.

PS: There is a security update on all versions of samba prior to 2.2.8a.
I strongly recommend that you update to 2.2.8a. RPM package for Red Hat
8.0 are available from the Red Hat and Samba FTP sites.
