byte range locking

Hello all,
I have an ACT database residing on a Samba 2.0.6 server running Linux.
The clients are Windows98/NT. When a user is editing a record in the
database ACT will not allow another user to edit *any* record in that
database. The way it is *supposed* to work is ACT should only lock the
record being edited and not the whole database. This problem does not
occur if the database resides on a Windows server.
>From what I understand it seems as if Samba is not applying the type of
locking it should be. I think it should be using something like byte
range locking. Currently the only option I have set in my smb.conf file
is "oplocks=no" to turn off client side local caching of the database
files. Everything else to do with locking is set to default. Does
anyone have any recommendations as to what I might try?
Thanks,
Ray
