Huh. I have never seen even a hint of this reference. Not saying it is not there but our small office has used it for over three years with no issues and I helped setup a redhat 8 box this year in an Accounting FIrm that has about 50 users hitting a samba share constantly as a file server with several applications tax packages and others that store all the appdata on the server. All locking works perfectly and it is way faster than the NT box it used to be on. there are some issues that are tunable with OPLOCKS I believe but we have never run into them. I would recommend samba without fail as a result of my experience. Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
