What I have is a scenario where a windows app (which uses file/record locking across its filesystem) exists at two remote locations, and we have a FreeBSD box at each site. I was thinking of mounting each other's filesystems with NFS and then sharing those with Samba, but I take it the locking won't work correctly. Would simply running a Windows NFS client on the workstations, running through the BSD gateway, solve the problem? TIA, J.
