Hello all,

   I've recently installed SAMBA ver2.2.1a and have setup a couple of shares. All seems fine. However one share is of an SAP Interface Filesystem (ie SAP outputs certain files to it) and is shared to a W2K server. This in itself works fine, and testing was going well until, someone spotted that the application on the W2K server occasionally reads and then removes (as it should) the output file before output from SAP is complete. This causes the application guys no end of problems.

  Is there a way of "locking" file access so only 1 user can access a file at a time?

TIA
