Hi
I have a Samba Server on RH9 and when I map the shares on Windows client computers, the files are locked so the users do not accidentally overwrite other people's files on the network. (This is the good news)
However, the Linux client computers use smbmount to map the shares within their home folders, which do not lock the files... so when two users on the network try to access the same file, the contents of the file will be that of the person that saved the file the last.
I've looked at the man page of smbmount to see if I can enable file locking at the client level .... no joy.
Any tips on how to fix this?
Thanks
Rishi
