The Samba server does the right thing, so host the file on unix/linux.
Ok, let me get this straight. If I host the file on Linux using Samba, and connect to it using mixed Windows and Linux/Wine clients, the locking should be respected all around?
If so, then that's completely acceptable. For me, anyway.
So... where is the failing exactly? Windows SMB clients connecting to Windows SMB servers respect locks just fine. Windows SMB clients connecting to Linux Samba shares respect locks just fine (I've been doing this for years). Is the problem with the smbclient then? Sorry, I'm a layperson when it comes to all this lowlevel stuff...
That would seem to be the case. I saw a announcement has a new maintainer so maybe even this is not a long term problem
The smbfs filesystem The smbfs filesystem is a mountable SMB filesystem for Linux. It does not run on any other systems.
Up until recently smbfs has not been maintained as nobody in the Samba Team used it. This has now changed, and Andrew Tridgell tridge@linuxcare.com has taken over maintainence.
A new release of smbmount will be in the 2.0.6 release of Samba.
Samba 2.0.6 was released Mon Oct 21 16:11:25 2002
So.... Maybe we should droup him a line...
