A situation has come up wherein I need oplocks ASAP - from yesterday's release announcement it seems that only the NT Domain Controller parts of 1.9.18 are particularly alpha, so I thought I might test 1.9.18 to see if I might be able to use it in a production environment (without the NT stuff, of course). My question is, is it safe to test 1.9.18 in a functioning 1.9.17 - based network (I recall concerns for doing this with 1.9.16 and 1.9.17 due to WINS code(I think)) ? Any gotchas to watch out for? -Joshua -------- Joshua Heling jrh@securepipe.com SecurePipe Communications, Inc.

Any gotchas to watch out for?should be absolutely fine. the issue with 1.9.16 mixed with 1.9.17 was if you had mis-configured your systems to attempt to provide two "domain master / pdcs" for the same workgroup. this is only possible to do for two or more 1.9.17+ samba servers. luke
