Strange oplock-messages in samba-logs

[Sanjiv Bawa]

Andrew,

Thanks for the message.

I have a customer where 2.0.7 made the problem just go away whereas 2.2.1a
and 2.2.2 caused all kinds of oplock waits.

How would you like me to show you the "situation"? I will be happy to
provide any info that will enable you to solve this.

I don't want to use 2.0.7 but what choice do I have?

Thanks.

If you can show any situation where using the older, buggier, less
secure 2.0.7 release works where 2.2.2 (or better still the current 2.2
cvs) doesnt we would like to know about it.

Samba 2.2 is a little fussier about oplocks, becouse otherewise it can
leave a hung client with a an oplock - denying others access to files
etc.  Bad network cards make it worse.
