[Pkg-samba-maint] Bug#569837: [samba] samba: The nmbd daemon can't start

[Thomas Florek]

Package: samba
Version: 2:3.6.0~pre3-1

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Please see following line in /var/log/samba/log.nmbd:

[2011/05/13 06:32:05,  0] lib/util_sock.c:1476(create_pipe_sock)
  error creating socket directory /var/locks/.nmbd: No such file or
directory

Daemon should write into directory /var/lock instead:
# dpkg -S /var/lock
base-files: /var/lock

Temporary workaround
ln -s /var/lock /var/locks
solves it on my machine.

Greetings, Tom
