Could you give setup commands? This may interest more people, so I am 
bringing it back to the list...

I am not sure that I understand: You have a samba server, maybe even on 
the same machine; cifs then replaces samba-client, on every machine; 
then dosemu relays the file-locks correctly. Are you using freeDOS?

Sorry if I may seam a little dumb, but some time ago Bart said that lock 
did NOT work... and I googled about cifs and could not really understand 
the details.

Thanks,
