>From the Samba 2.0 beta announcement:

5). Cross protocol data integrity
---------------------------------

An open function interface has been defined to allow
"opportunistic locks" (oplocks for short) granted by Samba
to be seen by other UNIX processes.  This allows complete
cross protocol (NFS and SMB) data integrety using Samba
with platforms that support this feature.

Does this include netatalk connectivity?  Occasionally I need to build a
box with both SMB and AppleTalk connectivity to support a mixed Windows
and Mac environment.
