Summary: [Cluster] Problems running Samba from a NFS filesystem
I took Gerald Cartier's advice and installed the Samba executables on my NFS shared drive. I then modified the following two options in smb.conf to point to my local filesystem. smb passwd file = /point to directory on local disk lock dir = /point to directory on local disk Works like a champ!

I've not got a cluster: can one of the other experts comment, please? I know Samba's been clustered! --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
