Hi all. I am a truly new to Samba so please bear with me while I ask a few questions. I am running a Pentium 366 Celeron, 128meg memory, Red Hat Linux 7.2, Linux 2.4.7-10, Samba 2.2.1a. I am running this much older version as the best book I have on Linux is "Ren Hat Linux 7.2 Bible" by Chris Negus. It is the most complete book I have so in order to have my experiments with Linux and Samba match the pictures ;-)), I opted to use the older version.
I installed Samba as per the instructions in the book. Setting up the users, editting the samba.conf file and using SWAT all seemed to go OK. However, here is what I got upon checking it:
[root at 4445 root]# smbstatus
Samba version 2.2.1a
Service uid gid pid machine
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Failed to open byte range locking database
ERROR: Failed to initialize locking database
Can't initialize locking module - exiting
[root at 4445 root]# ssmb
I have the Samba printer sharing working fine, I can print from my Linux machine to my Windows printer fine.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what I missed????
Thanks.
Bill
