carp-serv# ./samba start
Removing stale Samba tdb files: . done
Starting nmbd.
Starting smbd.
now i have done a few things from here (all near enough) to help harden it up

i have checked that the /var/run and /var/log dirs are 755 which they are, and i have also rechecked the smb.conf file which is a backup of a known working version on linux and bsd.
nmbd starts and writes its pid to /var/run fine so i am at a loss as to why smbd wont start.
Have googled for about an hour now reading many a mailing list and there is not one post like mine - i have ran smbstatus and got
carp-serv# smbstatus
sessionid.tdb not initialised
/var/db/samba/connections.tdb not initialised
This is normal if an SMB client has never connected to your server.
Failed to open byte range locking database /var/db/samba/brlock.tdb
ERROR: Failed to initialise locking database
Can't initialise locking module - exiting
i hve checked and that file is not there, i have uninstalled and recompiled samba, and that hasnt helped, could it be all the steps i did to harden FreeBSD have caused this ?
Although ftp and web work fine
