[Samba] MS-Access Databases not share win samba-3

[Gordon McCrae]

There a section of "Samba 3 by example"; A.8.1 that specifically gives some
guidelines on the use of SAMBA with ACCESS.

There's also examples on the next page (section A.8.3) about setting "veto
oplocks = /*.mdb/" so that opportunistic locking is not allowed on access
databases.

I've also seen various comments online about setting "strict locking = yes"
for the relevant share.

I have a single Linux server running Slackware 10.0 and Samba Version
3.0.10. I have one 
share that has several MS Access tables on it. One user can operate very
well, however when a second user tries to access the same database tables,
the mdb files locked. It's usually a permission denied, or a "can't lock"
type 
of error.

What's wrong?

10x for all
