AFAIK the Samba filesystem doesn't support locking. Locks should work across the network with NFS, but of course from a Windows machine that might be a problem. I'm afraid we can't do much in Wine, this will require fixing smbfs. > So... chances of this ever getting implemented on Wine are, in your opinion, > pretty slim?

Actually if you mount with the right options and set the right permissions on the file, mandatory locking should work. That's the theory though, I haven't tested it... -- Alexandre Julliard [EMAIL PROTECTED]
