@dbw: Your desired behaviour reflects the DENY_xxx modes used by the
Windows file API. UNIX does not support such DENY_xxx modes which are a kind
of locking on Windows. Instead file locking is implemented (and OOo does so) by
f_cntl() calls to set a write lock, while on Windows clients it's done by
setting the
share mode to DENY_WRITE when opening a file for writing.
Your first provided SMBD log output shows that the share mode is not set when
accessing the files from linux clients. OOo does not know anything about the
file
system it accesses, it just sets a write lock. Then it's up to the smb client
to
forward the write lock to the smb server and the smbd has to translate that
into a
share mode (and vice versa when a share mode is set by a Windows client).
oplocking has nothing to do with real locking it's just a hint wether the
client is
allowed to cache the files by assuming the client is the only one accessing the
file. So enabling oplocking in smb.conf is a bad idea if you want to get the
desired
exclusive file access. I don't know which parameter in smb.conf might help but
when taking a look into the manpages I guess playing around with "posix
locking", "kernel oplocks", "strict locking" might be the right switches.
The answer for the NFS problem is that locking is just faked if there's no lock
deamon running on the NFS server.
So the answer to fix the problem is: Configure your file system servers and
clients
in a suitable manner to get the desired behaviour. It's not an OOo specific
thing.
And I don't know wether this is possible at all as I've not tested the smb.conf
switches.
