I would like to use Linux as a file and print server for a number of Windows workstations.
One use of this is server will be to provide a central repository for an accounting package. I have spoken to the software supplier for the accounting software and whilst they do not know of any issues with this configuration, they have advised they are unsure how Samba manages file/record locking, and the potential impact on their application To obtain the software supplier's support of this configuration I would like to go back to them with some detail on which CIFS/SMB standard Samba adheres to for these functions. Can anyone advise if such a standard exists for windows file and record locking, if so which version does Samba Ver 3. adhere to Cheers James -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
