By the above statement "This can also be done", have you actually done it? If so, please share how were you able to do this i.e. per Linux user/group scheme i.e. which uid/gid have ownership of these files? > But the problem statement is that multiple users are editing and > updating the doc at the same time. > So my mind is going nuts on the logic for managing this concurrency. > Microsoft people actually hve done this but i do not want to use > there products and am looking > for some open source *solution */ *Logic *so that i can implement it. No need to loose your mind over this :) I would suggest a simplistic locking mechanism - where in the file is locked for edit if it is checked out (akin to source code management). Alternately, investigate the use of a source code management as a backend. -- Arun Khan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
