[TriLUG] Samba Question

[Roy Vestal]

One thing that I've run into is the samba locks that occur on the samba
server.  shutdown the service (both smbd and nmbd) and check
/var/opt/samba/locks. Usually when I have communication errors, removing the
temporary locks seems to fix it. Once you've removed them, simply restart
the services.
