Hi,

Running netatalk-1.5pre3 on RedHat Linux 6.2, x86. We have encountered a
problem that has already caused us some problems. User 1 opens an Excel
spreadsheet and begins to work. User 2 opens the same Excel spreadsheet,
does work, saves works and clobbers work done by User 1. With AppleShare
IP, if the file was already open by User 1, then User 2 received an
message that the file was in use and was read-only to them. Is this not
implimented in someway in netatalk? If not, it seems there is a big
potential for clobbering someone else's work and never knowing about
it. Are there any known workarounds for this problem?

Thanks,

Kevin
