Interestingly I have a setup here for testing for rollout of S4 AD. The 
file servers are in an AD domain and are running Sernet 4.4.5, so one 
version older than production. I have tested the locking on these and it 
works. The only difference I can find that in prod, 
/etc/default/sernet-samba-ctdb contains these lines:

CTDB_MANAGES_SAMBA=yes
CTDB_MANAGES_WINBIND=yes

Whereas in the test environment they are:
CTDB_SERVICE_WINBIND="sernet-samba-winbindd"
CTDB_SERVICE_SMB="sernet-samba-smbd"

I'm wondering if this is what's making the difference?

Cheers,

Alex
