re post sorry for the spelling in first one

Hi all
O.K. here it is
I shear a small LAN with my Wife and Kid. I'm trying to convert over to
running a Linux box on my Machine instead of WinDoz 98 as I have to at
work :-]
wile I've read all I can on samba and even bought "samba in 24 hours" as

a reference book I still can't seam to get it to work at all. :-[
I have setup redhat 6.1 from the APCmag edition and used the samba RPM
on the additional CD supplied to install v2.0.5a.
I have tried both SWAT and gtksamba to configure and test it.
My main problem is that when I try to run a status check on smb I
always get "can't open /var/lock/samba/STATUS.LCK "file error message.
Can I just put a blank file in that directory and let samba do as it
likes with it or do I have to reload samba from scratch, ether RPM or
the tar file.?

please help

Rob
