Thanks :)   That clarified things a /lot/ for me.

BTW: I've spent a week of spare time trying to find a Jeremy A
Google-Tech-Talk on CIFS/Samba, but all I can find so far is this
Google SoC "CIFS Workshop" podcast from October 2007 :
http://google-code-updates.blogspot.com/2007/10/google-hosts-cifs-workshop.html
http://google-developer-podcast.googlecode.com/files/gsocpodcast014.ogg

If anyone actually has a link for this talk I'd be grateful ... but I
know you all have better things to do here.

Cheers
