my problem was with file locking via the function fcntl_lock.
I'm using the GFS filesystem. I've got 4 servers which are sharing the same
hard disks and the same OS. I moved the pid files and lock directory by
changing by smb.conf on an ext2 filesystem and it works now.
I still have the problem with secrets.tdb. I hope that a symbolic link will
work...
