I suspect a resource is not correctly defined.  What happens if you run testparm?  Do \
all your services / shares pass?

If they do, then it is probably worth looking at the Linux permissions on the shared \
folders.  My suspicion is that one of the standard resources (netlogon, print$, if \
you use it) is playing up.  The opportunistic lock break failure message you're \
receiving indicates that Samba is not relinquishing a resource it *should* have \
finished with.  Netlogon is the most likely of these, but there may be others.

Try changing the debug level assigned to samba - for instance, by doctoring the \
/etc/init.d/smb script and then restart smaba and try a few logins, while running 

tail -f /var/log/log.smb

on an available terminal screen.  This will give you a realtime view of what is \
happening and when.  Maybe that way you can provide a few more clues.

Not in my experience.
