RE: working copies problem on shared network drive

Hi Jon,

You can still do that, but the problem is that you don't treat the live site
WC as something private, but as something public to anyone. That's asking
for trouble.
A way to work around this would be to force each user to mount the Samba
share as the same smbuser (call him 'livehacker' or whatever you like) or to
force a certain user ID on the share using the Samba config. In the first
case, the live WC would be something private to 'livehacker', even though
different people can be 'livehacker' in real life.

Cheers
