Hello,

this may be a question a thousand times answered but I did not find 
it ...

On a local linux filesystem like ext2/3 one can rename a file to an 
existing, already open file. 

But this doesn't  work on a cifs-mounted samba-share - or do I miss 
something in the samba configuration. Attached ist a small 
test-program that does essentially the same as kmail does when it 
creates a mail-index file (and crashes ...)

Here you can see the versions (from the clients /proc/fs/cifs/):
