[Samba] File Locking

Hi,

I'm running smbd 2.2.8.  I'm a little green when it comes to file locking
with samba.

I have two users that access a single data file on a FreeBSD box.  It's a
moneydance data file and obviously it gets messed-up if two users are
writing to it at the same time.  Is there a way with samba to stop a second
instance of the file from being opened, something like a "File In Use"
message for a user if the file is already in use?

Thanks,
Robert
