samba - Feb 2006 - Disabling locking for DLL files

Hi all,

I'm trying to run a program off a network drive, however it insists on
locking the DLL files it loads, so that no other process can access
them (even read-only.)  This means that only one person can run the
program at a time, as opposed to the entire office running it at the
same time.

It looks like the option "share modes = no" will solve this, but
before
enabling it for the entire share, is this the correct way to go about
solving this problem?  I don't really want to disable this for
everything else on the share.

Thanks,
Adam.

Locked files:
Pid    DenyMode   Access      R/W        Oplock           Name
--------------------------------------------------------------
29935  DENY_WRITE 0x20        RDONLY     EXCLUSIVE+BATCH

Well, interestingly enough, it seems that adding this line to the share
section was enough:

  veto oplock files = /*.dll/

I didn't have to mess with the 'share modes' after all, which was
good!

Cheers,
