[snip] Not possible at all, linux samba mount doesn't propagate locks. The flock() and rlock() functions of clipper will never work this way. The only solution is to share the server directory both with "nfs" and "samba". This open the usuals problems of locking and sync, so both the server need to be configured in a conservative manner, nocaching, sync always etc. The result is a much slower file server for both the environments. I'm very open to every suggestion. -- gentoo-server@gentoo.org mailing list
