Hi, now I'm confused. I told about the locking problem with Samba and MS Access .mdb files. When I use Samba 2.0.7-49 with SuSE Linux 7.0 and kernel 2.2.16 I have to set the option "fake oplocks=yes" on the share to get access to the .mdb files. Using Samba 2.0.7-105 on SuSE Linux 7.1 with kernel 2.4.0 it works without the fake oplocks option. I'm using the same smb.conf on both machines.

But now I discovered the same problem with MS Excel (Office 2000 on Win 2000). When I try to open an Excel file on a samba share, the whole program hangs. When I set the option "fake oplocks = yes" everything works. If anyone has any idea, please let me know. Dirk
