I use Samba (version 3) to share documents between many users. When one user uses the file, the other can open the same file without any information from the server that the file is already in use. In such situation both users keep overwritting eachothers work. How to configure the server to fix that problem? -- Thanks, Marcin
Hi, Please try to add the line below to your smb.conf and restart the Samba service. After restart there should be a lot of files in the /var/lock/samba directory. The strict locking option should normaly not be used. You can read about it at -> man smb.conf lock directory = /var/lock/samba locking = yes # strict locking = yes Best regards //Erik wait4you2 wrote:>I use Samba (version 3) to share documents between many users.
