I'm struggling a bit with something that might be a bit exotic, but I'll ask
for help here anyway, lots of good advice always. I'm setting up an LTSP
server in a school with an existing NT4 file/print server. To let the
students see the same home directories I'm planning to smbmount these on the
Linux/LTSP box from the NT box, using pam_mount to do it when the user logs
in. I've tested this using a Samba box as a simulated NT file server. But
I've got a problem with file locking in Samba (I think, but may be mistaken):
Locked files:
Pid DenyMode R/W Oplock Name
--------------------------------------------------
29230 DENY_NONE RDWR NONE /home/xuser/.xsession-errors
Contents of the .xsession-errors file:
XIM DEBUG: XIM DEBUG:

I've tried to play around with oplocks and share modes in Samba, but had no
luck in removing the lock problem. I don't know if this is the real problem,
or the other problems reported in .xsession-errors are.
None of this crops up when NFS-mounting the home directories. Eventually I
hope to bring the around to replacing the NT box with a Samba alternative.
Any thoughts very welcome.
