What have people found with oplocks in the realm of really saving time? Is it something that's always good to have in an environment where two files being accessed simultaneously is rare? My shared volume is an NFS on a remote server. Just curious what folks have experienced. Terry The information in this e-mail is intended only for the person to whom it is addressed.

I've had hit and miss problems with locks on sharing NFS mounted SMB shares. Works good with some NFS servers, not well wither others. I was told in this list that it's not a supported samba config, so I gave up trying to reliably use them.

So reading this, I assume that noone uses samba as a simple authentication/gateway to network shares for windows machines. Since you are limited to sharing local volumes on the PDC? How would I go about setting up a passthrough for my machines to the actual fileserver? Do I setup clients on the file server? do I have samba point them with credentials to the file server?
