Suggest you update to Samba-3.0.0 is possible. Recent versions of Samba have eased quite some locking issues. Additionally, I recommend that you read the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf available from: http://samba.org/~jht/HOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf There is a complete chapter on "File and Record Locking" that may help you to solve your issues. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
