[Samba] Re: Cannot start samba : i've got the answer !!!

[Bruno Pinaud]

Everything is working fine now...The magic lines for smb.conf are :
lock directory = /fiber-backup/var/samba
pid directory = /fiber-backup/var/samba
private dir = /fiber-backup/var/samba/private

And this is on a simple ext2 filesystem...

Good job for version 3.0.0 !
