I seem to be having a problem getting Samba working correctly. SWAT works fine, however, it reports smbd to be running even though a ps aux | grep smbd doesn't show it. Nothing in the error log. I decided to check the stats and this is what I get:

root@samba:/usr/local/samba/bin# ./smbstatus

Samba version 2.2.4
Service uid gid pid machine
----------------------------------------------

Failed to open byte range locking database
ERROR: Failed to initialise locking database
Can't initialise locking module - exiting
root@samba:/usr/local/samba/bin#

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks. I deleted Slackware and installed SuSE and it works great now. I'm not sure what the problem with it was, but I got it.
