[Samba] Disabling locking for DLL files

Hi all,

I'm trying to run a program off a network drive, however it insists on
locking the DLL files it loads, so that no other process can access
them (even read-only.)  This means that only one person can run the
program at a time, as opposed to the entire office running it at the
same time.

It looks like the option "share modes = no" will solve this, but before
enabling it for the entire share, is this the correct way to go about
solving this problem?  I don't really want to disable this for
everything else on the share.

Thanks,
Adam.

Locked files:
