Me too !!

ok, It seems I can't avoid to patch samba sources to reach my goal.

Ths ring buffer seems a good idea because it don't need to many
modifications to sources. I think I will try to make this in samba sources.

Please, can you explain a bit more how implements this ring buffer ? I don't 
know ring buffer very well (but IPC are fine) and here, many linux user have a 
need for this modifications.

Cheers, laurent.
