I'm running Samba 3.0.20b with XP and DOS clients. I have zero issues with WindowsXP clients but if I have a XP client accessing a file then try to get a DOS client to access (ro and rw) the same file I'm met with a sharing violation. I've tried all sorts of combinations of the following parameters: strict locking, oplocks, level2 oplocks, defer sharing violations, locking, and share mode. No matter what I do, I can not get Samba to simple ignore "file locking". Suggestions? Chris Sohns Landings Research

I have never run into an issue, in a multi-OS client environment where a file gets "locked" on this share. Some times OS's like to get a lock on an executable it is running from the network. That would not be a good thing on this share. Nadda issue...
