(no subject)

[Shepherd, Dave]

Thanks,

  Does the parameter "locking = no" in the share details turn this off? I ask because I inherited the little SAMBA installation we've got and all my shares seem to have this parameter set. 
  I believe it is set to "yes" by default so would removing this parameter enforce the standard 'locking' you describe below.

TIA

Dave

it does the locking ... it's handeled by the OS and smbfs in the kernel

so you should be fine ...
