[TriLUG] Samba file locks

Greetings all,

I have a file locked on a samba server that no one is currently  
accessing. I can see the lock using smbstatus but I don't know how to  
associate the lock with a particular user. I've googled and found no  
pertinent information and the samba doc section on locks ( Chapter  
16. File and Record Locking ) doesn't appear to address this issue  
either.

My question is:

1) How does one associate a lock with a particular user, so I can  
verify that the lock should be there
and
2) How can those locks be cleared if they shouldn't be there

Thanks,
Lee
