Samba 1 vs. 2, locking and Windows Terminal Server Edition

Samba has not changed in this regard. Samba behaves exactly the same
way now that it always has - it uses one process per socket
connection. It is the only sane way of doing a SMB server.

If WTSE is treating Samba differently now then you should find out
why. Working on the above assumption will just lead you to the wrong
conclusions. 

The only major protocol changes between Samba 1.9.18 and 2.0 are the
addition of NT SMBs. You can disable those with "nt smb support = no"

Cheers, Tridge
