[Pkg-samba-maint] Dropping smbstatus-locking.patch?

[Christian Perrier]

I briefly mentioned this in #samba-technical but better discuss it
here...

This patch was meant to fix #164179: weird message when running
smbstatus on a server where no client connected.

That bug was caused by an inexisting locking.tdb file in
/var/run/samba.

Since then, it appears that the smbd daemon, when launched normally,
creates that file if it doesn't exist.

So, #164179 is only likely to show up on a system where locing.tdb is
voluntarily removed by the local admin, which is a weird idea.

Therefore, I propose dropping that patch which would anyway need to be
modified for 3.2.0 as Volker Lendecke pointed in the samba-technical
mailing list.

Comments?

I checked this with 3.2.0. I didn't check what happens with an
unpatched 3.0.26a...and don't really plan to do so. So, I rpopose
dropping the patch in 3.2.0
