Hi,

mb_shm_open is a internal samba function which I creates
a shared memory file in the lock directory. The error you 
are encountering means that it failed to open a file 
because the file was not found. "No such file or directory" 
is the error returned by fopen() and counterparts in C 
library if the file is not found.

This does not mean that smb_shm_open itself was not found.
The name appears in the message to indicate where this error
has occured.

Look at you configuration. I suspect something is wrong there.
Also make sure your /var/lock/samba directory is present and
accessible.

Cheers,
Nadeem
