Hi all, I asked this question before, but I'm not sure it hit the list so here we go again; Does SAMBA allow for file locking ? i.e. If an App is outputting a file to a Unix Filesystem can the App at the other end of the share (ie W2K) read/delete that same file before the App has completed it's output? If so can you stop this from happening using SAMBA? (Allow access to file for only one user at a time) TIA Dave
it does the locking ... it's handeled by the OS and smbfs in the kernel ... so you should be fine ...
