[Samba] *.tdb permissions

I'm running 2.11, and I've noticed a number of log entries that look
like so:

angie.log:  tdb(/usr/local/samba/var/locks/locking.tdb): expand_file
ftruncate to 8192 failed (Permission denied)

[2004/10/03 15:14:36, 0] tdb/tdbutil.c:tdb_log(531)
  tdb(/usr/local/samba/var/locks/brlock.tdb): expand_file ftruncate to
8192 failed (Permission denied)

The files in question look like this:

-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           8192 Oct  3 15:30 brlock.tdb
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root           8192 Oct  3 11:30 locking.tdb

Anything to be gained - or lost - by chmoding 666 on these?  Or is the
error message misleading, and referring to a file that these point to
rather than these files?

Thanks much,
