[Samba] SOLVED: OS X Tiger Share write problems

[simo]

Without locking you may get into trouble.

While it is unlikely that more then one will work on the same home
directory at the same time using the same files, if that's happen then
well locking will not work properly and windows apps often rely on
locks.

It is also not recommended to re-export nfs mounts through samba
(locking is one of the most important factors).

Simo.
