I use this for some things but it would be really neat if you could limit
how many times a file can be opened. Since samba already knows this surely
it wouldn't be too hard to someone to do? But there's the problem isn't it?
I guess it requires one of the coding type people to want it or rate it
high on the priority list. Is it in the wishlist anywhere and if so, how
far down chaps?
