samba and SMP

[Marc Dodsworth]

It will be painful but check the MS website for details on OPlock.  There
are some settings in the NT registry that handle the OPlock so you might
find something of use there (I know there is details on oplock on M$ cos it
came up in a situation I was involved with :-)
