Well, it should work the same way (good or bad) it does
against a Windows server. Once a second opener comes in, the
oplocks should be broken anyway. If I remember correctly in
the past I have seen hints by Microsoft how to turn oplocks
off in Windows server for shares that host Access files, so
this problem might not be samba-specific and/or fixed in
recent Windows.
I can remember having to vastly increase the record-locking features of
Netware 4, if you had users using Access dbs, especially multi-user.
That was back around 2000 or so, so record-locking issues with Access
dbs have been around for a really long time ...
