Samba/RH6.0 file locking problems?

[Stephen L Arnold]

On 22 May 99, "Sean E. Millichamp" <sean at compu-aid.com> had 
questions about Samba/RH6.0 file locking problems?:

In general, I think the answer to your question is yes.  Since I 
haven't used either samba 2.x or kernel 2.2.x yet myself, I haven't 
paid attention to the specifics.  I know there are some differences 
in the 2.2.x kernel source that affected the way samba compiles, 
but I think they can be worked around by tweaking the makefile, 
etc.  On the other hand, it seems to me that samba 2.0.4b has some 
new options that might help as well.  That may be more critical for 
NT clients though (as opposed to win 95).

Sorry i couldn't help more.

Regards, Steve
