I dont understand what defaults you mean
i use smaba 2.2.6 and its default is
level2 oplocks = Yes
kernel oplocks = Yes (this two is autodetect by samba and kernel
support by samba docs IRIX have this but you have set NO???)
oplock break wait time = 0 (samba docs write not change this
parameter...)
you have
level2 oplocks = no
kernel oplocks = no
oplock break wait time = 10
this your setings is default by your system or set in your conf file?
By docs oplocks is share parameter that must by defined in share not global.
best choice is try use veto oplock files= ... and leave oplocks on.
And last what version of W95 you use? W95 W95a W95B ?
If W95 then you must update to W95a by service pack from microsoft www.
