Jeremy--

Thanks for helping me.

>From /etc/fstab:
//samba1/vol22        /sam/vol22  cifs    
rw,user,credentials=/[hidden],uid=doug,gid=data      0       0

Doing some poking in man files I found a reference to -o mand for fcntl.
 Would it help to add that to fstab? Where? Or should it go in 
the server's fstab? Or both?

Thanks so much, Jeremy!
