samba - Dec 2002 - oplocks and pagemaker files

SuSE 7.2, Samba 2.2.6
User plaform WIN98se

Was wondering if someone could point me to information regarding oplocks (I
read the man on smb.conf regarding that and level2 oplocks)...

I needed to set oplocks = no  and level2 oplocks = no in order for them to
be able to open pagemaker files from the samba server...otherwise it would
say 'can not open file'

I am just trying to get a grip on oplocks, what it is used for, how setting
it to no affects the performance, and why I needed to set it to no

Thanks

Recently I post to this  list about with the subject Clipper+Samba and was
helped by list.
See the answers that follow attached.

Regards,

Marcelo Oliveira
