Safe and stable??

Mike asked:

box -

	Depends entirely on the programs acessing it!

	The system-side stability of Samba is fine, but 
	if the client uses an idiosyncratic locking
	strategy, it may or may not be supported on
	Samba (or, to be fair, on NT).

	What's the program?  Several are well-known
	to the list...
