samba - Jul 1999 - RedHat 6.0/Samba Server multi-user database locking problem

Dear Samba,
I have a small network of 5 workstations running on Windows98, which use 2
multi-user database programs - one based on MS Access whilst the other is
based on Borland's FoxPro/DBase.  When the datafiles for these programs were
kept on a Win98 "server", there were frequent program crashes and
database
corruptions.
On recently installing a Linux RedHat 6.0/Samba Server, I was delighted with
the faster file service and the eradication of program crashes and database
corruptions.  However, I could no longer open the datafiles simultaneously
on the workstations - the message "this file is already in use"
appeared.
1.  Is this a glibc2.1 bug causing 64 bit locking problems for multi-user
databases?
2.  Does your samba-2.0.4b rpm resolve the problem?
3.  The rpm has been downloaded onto a floppy disk.  How is the rpm now
installed onto the Samba Server?
