Okay, since I got you here, I saw the new Samba 2.2 has "on-par"
locking between Irix and Linux 2.4.  Very good and I'm playing with
both now.

But in prior versions, it seemed that Solaris supported kernel-level
oplocks (level 1) whereas Linux (or FreeBSD or Irix) did not? 
Please correct me if I am wrong (or talking about an even prior
version).
