Louis,

     From the manpage

-L|--locks
            causes smbstatus to only list locks.

-p|--processes
            print a list of smbd(8) processes and exit. Useful for 
scripting.

My understanding is -L will display only samba connections that have 
locks currently applied.  Using -p will display all samba connections 
regardless of lock status.

I assume by the time you check the ps id, those connections may have 
already closed?
