[Samba] Multiple Samba Instances: Is it possible to share *.tdb files?

[Christian Brandes]

Hi again,

in the official Howto Collection at § "Binary Format" is mentioned that 
many different samba processes read and write on the same *.tdb files at 
the same time:
http://de5.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/CUPS-printing.html#id424705

So if there are different instances of samba on one machine, do they 
really need *.tdb files on their own?
Or can they share one common set of files?

Regards
Christian
