[Linux] Re: Using Samba

[Brian Faris]

I think that is how it is supposed to behave and you should get the same =
behaviour if the file was stored on a windows server. When one user open =
the file as read/write it is locked so other users can only open it in =
read-only mode. If this were not the case, one user could open it and make =
some changes and at the same time another user could open it and made some =
changes, but the last user to save it would over write the changes of the =
other user. Correct me if I am wrong.
