samba - Sep 2002 - Solaris File Locking - NT/NFS and W2K/Samba

What is the best way to set up file locking in my mixed environment?

Server:

Solaris 2.6 running Samba server & sharing files to PC's


Clients:

1) Win NT running Solstice Network Client (NFS) to access files on server 
(Unix access)

2) Win 2000 (Samba access)


Problem:

There is no file locking between the NT & 2000 PC's as one is Unix
access
and the other is Samba access. There are ~2000 files affected by this.

Thanks,

Fred

Errr - how about removing the NFS client software from the Windows NT
clients and mounting the drives using CIFS instead ?

That would seem to be the easiest way to solve this.
