"File Already Open" Alert

Hi,

short and direct:

I have a file (excel) hosted on a Windows machine that is shared over the network. OpenSuse can see and open that same file (using samba), however, if the file is already open it does not show me any alert notifing me about that, like it does on a Windows machine.

is it me? A bad configuration? Or a SAMBA limitation?

Is there a work-around?

I hope that between OpenSuse's netwrok machines it works (didn't test, so correct me if i'm wrong)...

Thanks
