Just thought it would be worth making sure list subscribers were aware that the locking problem that has been experienced by various people using Autocad R14 and Samba has been (fingers crossed) cured with Samba 2.0.0. (Briefly, Autocad was informing users that the drawings were read only when in fact the UNIX permissions were totally correct) We've upgraded a production server here recently, and all locking problems have dissapeared. Many thanks to the Samba team and John Terpstra for fixing the problem and keeping in touch!
