I have installed the current Sharity 2 beta after running 1.04 for some
time now, and I still have the following problem. I think it is because
Sharity can't do file locking (as documented in the Sharity manual), but
I'd like to be sure it isn't something else:
Sharity runs on a SPARC Solaris (2.6) machine. NT runs on two different
PCs. Samba also runs on the Solaris machine. I can mount the Unix file
system as a drive letter from a PC using Samba. I can then use NT on one
machine to access files on the other NT machine by going through the Unix
mount point. I can copy files in either direction, move, delete, rename,
etc. with no problem. I can open text files using an editor with no
problem, but I cannot open files using MS Office applications (Word,
PowerPoint, Excel, ...). I get a generic dialog box from the application
just saying it can't open the document.
So, does this sound like the file locking issue, or might there be
something else I should look into?
