I posted here weeks ago problems regarding Excel 97 file corruption. I 
finally disabled oplocks then.

But day passing, I had new problems with Word 97 :-/  (new posts here, 
mainly not answered but a tip on how to get clients at same time that 
servers... -NET command usage...):

Many times a day, clients here when oppening a MS Word 97 document have 
it in "READ ONLY" mode, but seems no reason fort that!!

I recently put oplocks *back* ON *but* with veto-ing excel files...
I hope this change could solve de pb..

Waiting for changes, I read again docs about oplocks (Samba HOWTO 
Collection -R-O-X-, O'Reilly and SAM'S books too)

Again and again.... but as Jeremy says thereafter, seems a problem *in* 
Word 97 ... Maybe I'll have to patch it  (it's original version, just 
patched with Euro Font Fix, nothing more, maybe the source of the 
problems? -Idem with Excel....)

Same opinion here. Samba works like a charm. We got 2.2.3a Debian woody 
stable release (damm when will they upgrade at debian?? ;-)).
