[Samba] Only one user for a file

Umm, I may be wrong, but I think the issue of the original post is a file
locking problem. That is, only 1 user at a time can run the network app
off the Samba file share.

This is a traditional limitation - however many filesystems support ACLs
(Access Control Lists) which allow you to do permissions as you desire -
with multiple users/groups getting a variety of access permissions.  I am
unsure what support there might be in samba for such implementations.
