In 1.4.1 the Server fully implements byte range locking. However, the byte range locks are not backed by AFS locks. After 1.4.1 ships we will release 1.5 which will be a development release. This release will experiment with backing the byte range locks with AFS file locks. However, it will only be safe to use when all of the clients accessing the files support the locks. > The catch-22 is that since I'm using Kerberos for authentication, I > can't get peer to peer sharing working because Windows is looking for a > domain controller (I think), and can't find one.

XP Workstation shares require that either a domain account be used or a local account. The user connecting to the share must know the name and password of the account in question. NTLM will be used unless you have disabled it by policy. Jeffrey Altman
