What is happening is that the Ubuntu clients are establishing a lock of deny_none, and the WinXP client is establishing deny_write. I have tried changing oplocks and kernel oplocks to yes, and all else to the defaults shown here, but there is no change in this behavior: http://www.physiol.ox.ac.uk/Computing/Online_Documentation/using_samba/ch05_05.htmll What else should I try, please? Ok, deny_none should conflict with deny_write, so you should see someone else has this file open between WinXP and the Ubuntu clients. However, for UNIX clients they need to provide mutual exclusion using byte range locks (the traditional UNIX way) not deny modes. I'm not sure if OpenOffice on Ubuntu does this (it should).

Could it be a mis-match between the version of samba on the server and the one on the clients? Can anybody suggest a solution or at least a trouble-shooting procedure? Normally what you call file locking in this case is really access exclusion ie. share modes. Use smbstatus on the server to see what open modes the clients are currently using.
