strict Locking = Yes

Hi,
I have a similar system running Samba 2.03 on SCO OS 5.04 and M$-Office.
>From my point of view the problem is related to the above mentioned
parameter. On my system this parameter is set to NO.
The parameter SHARE MODES = YES defines that the application defines what
to do with the file (i.e. locking) and what to do if a file is already
opened. So STRICT LOCKING is not necessary.
It seems that Samba 2.03 has changed something in its locking behavior so
that the application gets confused with the different lockings of a file.
