I think smbd is running. The STATUS..LCK file is not used with samba when you compile from sources, so, it much be something in the samba startup script. Everything you show: 1. Address in use 2. netstat -a 3. messages 4. log.smb All indicate that samba is running. Try netstat -ap | grep bios and see if you get:
