Possible help for other OOo users.
Problem:
I have installed OOo1.1 on RedHat Linux network. There are group
directories in which shared files are kept. When two users are opening
the same file concurrently there is no warning to second user. The files
are saved with only changes made by the last user to close the file. Any
changes made by users closing the file earlier are lost.
In M$Office the second user could only open the file in Read Only mode.
Is there any setting in OOo for this behaviour?
Solution:
* there has to be the nfslock and nfsstat daemon running on your nfs
server and your nfs client. i am able to check this with RCNFSLOCK
STATUS on my Suse-System.
* You need to have these two lines in your "soffice" startup script. I
found this script in /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/soffice
The lines are:
SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1
export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING
These lines are already there. But they are commented out by default.
Remove the comments.
