[wplug] SMB Question

[Greg Akins]

Is it just the Access MDB files?  Coincidentally, I
was just reading some articles on running Access from
a Samba fileshare, and there appeared to be a lot of
troubles with folks getting locks on Access databases.

If this is where you're seeing the problem, I can look
back through those posts.  If it's not the problem,
sorry I can't help more.
