I did not expect to be misunderstood on such a grand scale; let me be more specific. If a file (inode) has already been opened, all other calls to 'open' the file should fail. As simple as that. Is there a way to do this using either the native filesystem, or using samba? -aditya _______________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List
