Hi,

Some apps locks only parts of the files, blocking access to all users if you haven't activated oportunistic lockings (allow locking only part of a file, not the whole file) You can find more info about it in http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/locking.html#id2609918

I hope it works for you

Greets,
David
Hi.

With samba 3.0.25b as part of Mac OS X 10.5.4 Server, I'm encountering
issues with .mdb files: Some Windows apps use client software on local
machines and one Microsoft Access database on the SMB share. Everything
works fine, as long as there's only one client using the .mdb file. As
soon as a second client tries to access (and write!) to the .mdb file,
the clients on the Windows machines report broken network connections
and crash.

In Server-Admin/File-Sharing, the shares are open for SMB only, oplock
and strict locking both off. No ACL, Posix permission admin r/w, group
r/w, other r.

(Mac-specific: Could Spotlight do harm to this? It could be disabled
for this share...)
