Possible TDB/Samba optimizations.

[John E. Malmberg]

Dave Jones posted that he had converted the tdb routines to use indexed 
files for a performance improvements.  I seem to have misplaced that post.

Some of the TDB storage is used for share and lock management data that 
does not have any meaning after the smbd process that registered them 
has terminated.

This has been a cleanup problem with the UNIX Samba versions, as it has 
with the older SAMBA versions that used flat files.  When a SMBD process 
terminates abnormally, old data is left in the TDBs.

If these sharing and locking functions could be mapped to the 
distributed lock manager, it would work much faster, and the cleanup 
issues would be eliminated.
