Tim:
Enclosed is the section from my smb.conf file setting up the share we use
for Lotus files. I assume you're talking Lotus 5 mulimedia, right? In any
case, this works fine for us... note that there is indeed a dedicated user
named "lotus" who gets to own all of the files. This is due to the
exact
problem you documented... Lotus isn't truly network friendly.
[lotus]
comment = Lotus Workspace
path = /home/budget/lotus
create mask = 0775
public = yes
printable = no
strict locking = yes
write list = @sysadm, @budget
read list = @sysadm, @budget
map archive = no
force user = lotus
force group = budget
