Hi, I've been trying to get some database applications working on a mixed Windows/Linux environment using Wine on the Linux end. A recent patch to Wine finally implements the LockFile() and UnlockFile() functions, and testing on pure Linux setups works fine.
However, Sharing from Windows and connecting from smbfs on Linux, the locks aren't respected. Alexandre Julliard confirms this: > Paul McNett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >> So... where is the failing exactly? Windows SMB clients connecting to >> Windows SMB servers respect locks just fine.

Can you offer any input, workarounds, or advice? While I can certainly move the file serving over to Linux, and get this working, it would be much better to not be forced to do that. I'd love to get this working using smbmount against a Windows NT server. Thanks, I appreciate you time and effort. Samba has proven to be an excellent asset to our operations here. If you could be kind enough to reply to me directly as well as to the list, that would be appreciated. -- Paul McNett - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hollister, California, USA -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
