Samba 3.0.14 on Solaris 10 issues

Hello All,

I am facing a wierd problem with the Samba 3.0.14a on Solaris 10 and CUPS (1.1.12) printing.
First of all am not sure if this combination works well. If someone could throw some light, it would be of great help.

Samba is setup with security=server, and it is currently a member of the NT4.0 Domain.
When I use the smbstatus command, I get the following error message, even though the clients are connected.

*******
sessionid.tdb not initialised
/var/log/samba/lock/connections.tdb not initialised
This is normal if an SMB client has never connected to your server.
Failed to open byte range locking database
ERROR: Failed to initialise locking database
Can't initialise locking module - exiting
*********

The permissions on the lock directory seems fine.
Looks like something is broken. The files sessionid.tdb and connections.tdb, don't seem to be exisiting on the server at all.

Has anyone come accross this problem. Any help is most appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
