I really think you should skip this book, get a version of Samba that
isn't 12 years old, and have a look to the thousands of good internet
pages descriping almost everything around Samba. I'm sure, you will
learn more and have less problems. :-)
And of course you would get much more help with recent versions, because
nobody remembers what were bugs or specific things in such an old version.
Pick a recent version, give it a try (maybe you would require something
newer than that old pentium :-)) and if you are having problems, let us
know what you plan to do and what went wrong, and we surely will find a
way to get it work here on the list. :-)
[root@4445 root]# smbstatus
Samba version 2.2.1a
Service uid gid pid machine
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Failed to open byte range locking database
ERROR: Failed to initialize locking database
Can't initialize locking module - exiting
Assumed that this was the same 12 years ago: Run
# testparm -vs | grep "lock directory"
and have a look, where "lock directory" points too. Then check if this
directory is existing. The permissions should be 755 and owner root:root.
You can try stopping Samba, remove the "locking.tdb" (make a copy
before) and start Samba again. It will be recreated.

Marc
