[Samba] Change Filelocking

[Kestutis Saldziunas]

Hello,

According to Urban answer I understood that if one user open file she/he
must get Oplock (of course if share supports oplock deature). However I
always in that case get Oplock NONE. Where could be the problem ?


Pid    DenyMode          Access      R/W        Oplock           Name
3568   DENY_NONE  0x2019f     RDWR       NONE             /doc/file.doc


I use Samba 2.2.4
parameters oplock = yes
level2 oplocks = yes
