Summary: [Cluster] Problems running Samba from a NFS filesystem

[Bartick, Brett]

I took Gerald Cartier's advice and installed the Samba executables on my NFS
shared drive. I then modified the following two options in smb.conf to point
to my local filesystem.

smb passwd file = /point to directory on local disk
lock dir = /point to directory on local disk

Works like a champ!

Thanks,

	I'd see if I could put the locks somewhere
	node-specific, and everything else shared...

	I've not got a cluster: can one of the
	other experts comment, please? I know 
	Samba's been clustered!
