I'm setting up Samba for the first time and so far, things are going well with the exception of this one error message that I get.  When I type "smbstatus" I get the following message:
 
Failed to open byte range locking database
ERROR: Failed to initialize locking database
Can't initialize locking module - exiting
 
I'm not sure how severe this error is yet.  I'm using the most current release of Samba, compiled it, and upgraded per the instructions in the README file in the redhat directory.  I'm using Linux v.7.1 with a kernel version of 2.4.2-2
 
Hope this is enough information.  I'd certainly appreciate it if you could assist.
