[Samba] locking in samba

[Arjen]

I have been trying to get this together for a long time, tried many 
options and combinations of options, and have not been able to get it to 
work. If you or anyone else can enlighten Demchenko and me on this 
subject, it would definitely be appreciated.

My conclusion for now is "It is not possible"...

Arjen.
