Rename or Move

[Alfred Landrum]

I'm implementing the cifs fs for BeOS.  I'm wondering how to correctly
implement the file system rename call for Samba.

The filesystem is given an old directory and old name, and a new directory
and a new name.  The rename should perform the swap atomically or fail.
For MS boxes, this is easy because they implement the SMB_MOVE command.
Since samba doesn't, right now it seems like I need to :
	1) get attributes on the old name, since I need to know if its a file or a
directory
	2) delete old name (SMB_DELETE or SMB_DELETE_DIRECTORY)
	3) use SMB_RENAME

So there's no way I can make this atomic for Samba servers.  Suggestions?
Am I looking at this wrong? Should I implement SMB_MOVE for Samba?

Thanks, 
Al
