I don't have more info on the locking issue except that I find it rather remarkable that it has not caused _any_ problem whatsoever in about 6 months+ of operation in a Samba/Netatalk environment that's fairly heavily used (about a dozen macs and a handful of PCs accessing one Linux box with about 100 GB shared space). This means that from my experience at least, the locking issue is only the worst problem in theory. My pet peeves are codepages and mswindows options not working together (a Netatalk issue), and vetoing with certain files that contain metacharacters such as '^M' or '?' (a Samba issue), e.g. Icon files that are somethimes created with certain files by Netatalk and which are still visible to the PCs. What I'm wondering is: Isn't the whole issue becoming somewhat moot with Mac OS X which has NFS support, and a flat filesystem to boot? Regards, Frank
