What does the list think of setting "locking = no" on the netlogon share for a PDC? The man page for smb.conf says we should never need to set the parameter, but given that it's a read-only share for most users, I have a hard time discerning any downside to this. Thoughts?

I don't see much a reason to disable locking. :) Specially because it could lead to data corruption.> RyanKind regards, - -- Felipe Augusto van de Wiel <felipe@paranacidade.org.br> Coordenadoria de Tecnologia da Informa??o (CTI) - SEDU/PARANACIDADE http://www.paranacidade.org.br/ Phone: (+55 41 3350 3300) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFvz1GCj65ZxU4gPQRAmIhAJ9bk7GQsfAEfs5BLB7OT0ivK31xtgCggrGl mrqPbiHAQbo+p7gbaQ25phA=3gKM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
