<p>Techniques for implementing mandatory locks for UNIX file systems are disclosed. The mandatory locks can provide similar features as the locking features provided in Windows computing environments, Mandatory locks can be defined and enforced in a secure UNIX computing environment. As a result, Windows clients (or users) can safely access files stored in the secure UNIX computing environment. Mandatory lock categories including Byte-Range locks and Shared Resource locks and can provide similar features as provided by the mandatory locking mechanisms of Windows environments. In addition, various attributes can be defined and associated with each mandatory lock category. Accordingly, access to files stored in UNIX file systems can be controlled based on the lock category and the attributes assigned to it.</p> |
