Sanvir,
OK, two more things:
1) Run updatedb , and then do a locate STATUS..LCK . The fiel may eb
somewhere else.
2) Are you running smbd & nmbd through inetd, or standalone? What is the
user smbd is running under? May not have permissions
to write in /var/lock/samba . And is it /var/spool/samba or
/var/lock/samba ?
Of course, we can always blame RedHat ;-) Supreet, over to you.
