When I looked at Services for Macintosh on NT Server 4.0, I was distressed
to find that it did not seem to lock files!

I use samba + netatalk(4.b3) + Linux to get my hetergenous network talking
to each other, and although samba and netatalk don't quite seem to agree,
at least they won't let mac users save a file on top of one that a PC user
still has open! NT, at least in the default set up, did exactly that.
