no, as I wrote, we didn't notice when the change happened. (Only the
users did  :-(  ). However, officially afs should support file locking
doesn't it?
What we can see, is that if the file is on a samba share, then MS-Office
opens it only the first time read-write, then read-only. If the file is
on afs, it is always opened read-write.
