    I think this works only for NFS, doesn't it? When accessing the files from Windows, CIFS or Samba is used on the hosts where this application is running.

      The man page is quite clear what it does. Did you read it? You only have to read the first paragraph.

        Yes, I *did* read it, and it says that this class applies only to locking over NFS (which is not a big surprise, considering the name of the class). That's why I said this class might be nice, but doesn't help me much, because it would require that the file to be locked is accessed via NFS. Or did I misunderstand something in the documentation?
