fcntl cooperation with server side processes

[Herb Lewis]

On your samba system run smbstatus -L to see what windows locks are on
the files. When I use explorer to copy a file I see something like the
following

# smbstatus -d0 -L
Locked files:
Pid    DenyMode   Access      R/W        Oplock           Name
--------------------------------------------------------------
9025   DENY_ALL   0x30196     WRONLY     EXCLUSIVE+BATCH  /bigfile   Tue Jul 
20 22:56:22 2004

And after the copy finishes I see

# smbstatus -d0 -L
No locked files
