I doubt this has anything to do with Samba. If you want to have proper file locking you need to actually mount the CIFS filesystem; otherwise you are most likely opening and saving the file via GNOME-VFS (ldd /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program/ucpgvfs1.uno.so | grep -i vfs). If your using GNOME-VFS it works by getting the file to a temporary local file and when you save it puts the file back to the server, like and FTP GET/PUT; therefore there is no file lock and the last writer wins. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
