I'm accessing Samba shares with Dosemu 1.0.2 and 1.0.2.1. File locking works flawlessly and with simultaneous access by Window$ clients.
I mount the Samba share with mount -t smbfs //SERVER/SHARE /mnt/MOUNTPOINT -o credentials=CREDENTIALS_FILE,workgroup=WORKGROUP,rw,gid=GID,fmask=770 and then, within Dosemu lredir F: linux\fs/mnt/MOUNTPOINT (Of course, all the stuff in capitals needs to be substituted correspondingly). Works fine.
