Hi all,

I've been running with 2.0_RC4 for a number for weeks.  This NetBSD box 
is predominately used as a samba file server and central backup machine 
as it has a DDS-4 tape drive.  I use mount_smbfs(8) to mount file 
systems of Win 98, Win 2000 and WP boxes for backup purposes.

What I have observed is that having mounted one of these file systems 
(which are shared as read-only from their windows host) is that if a 
file is already open on that host machine then access to that file from 
within the smbfs mounted file system is not permitted. 
    "Error: file.txt: Permission denied;"

This behaviour has been repeatable and I've also tried it out with 
2.99.9, which behaved the same.

My original thought was that it was probably a windows issue, but I've 
recently set up the same test trying a linux implementation (Mandrake 
9.2, kenrel 2.6.x) of smbfs which didn't produce this error.

Has anybody had any similar experiences with smbfs?  or Is this a known 
issue?
I would be happily do some further testing if it would be of assistance 
to anyone.

Regards,
george.
