Dear list, My system administrator at office runs a SMB server for us all to share files at smb://server/share/ , on which we share mainly MS Office/OpenOffice.org documents. I have recently switched to iBook G4 with Panther. After the switching, I can connect to the SMB server using Panther's built in SMB capability (under Finder). But then we discover that when I open a file on smb://server/share, I am unable to lock that file so that other users can still open the same document read-write and save something to that document. This creates a dangerous situation for our file sharing system on SMB. (But if other users open some document on share, I can only open it from my iBook in read-only mode: their lock is still ok.)
For your information, I am now using OpenOffice.org 1.0.3 to open those files on share. Other users at my office use MS Windows XP and OpenOffice.org 1.1. So, is this a problem of my iBook/OpenOffice.org or a problem of the SMB server? Either way, how can we solve this to make my access to the files on share create proper file locks? Yours, P.
