Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15906
Wrong LOCK (share mode) on Samba shares
Last modified: 2004-03-18 15:07:21 UTC
The Linux version of OOo 1.1beta2 (and of 1.1beta, too) locks files in a wrong way on Samba shares: according to the smbstatus report, the DenyMode is set to DENY_NONE; this allows to other clients to open and edit/save a document even though the document is already opened as read/write by another user. The DenyMode should be set to DENY_WRITE, just as it is done by OOo 1.1Beta and OOo 1.1Beta2 for mswindows. I have performed the tests using a MDK 9.1 client and a RH 7.3 Samba server (Samba version 2.2.7). Marco Pratesi
I forgot to explicitly point out that I have read the other bug reports related to this topic and that I have already uncommented the following lines: SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING=1 export SAL_ENABLE_FILE_LOCKING i.e. I am aware of the need of this setting, but it has not been sufficient: this setting has worked correctly on the local ext3 filesystem, but has not worked on the Samba share.

This is truely not a P1 issue.
If issue 13940 is a P1 issue, why this issue is not? I don't know if this is a P1 issue, but IMHO it is a heavy problem, as it prevents the use of Linux for office automation on an analogous scenario. Marco Pratesi
Testet on a recent build of staroffice (645m8) and found the problem not reproducible.
Is it possible to find somewhere an OOo 645m8 build? I have read http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/644/ and I have a doubt: will 645 builds be used for OOo 1.1 / SO 6.1 or for later releases? Marco Pratesi
