[Samba]Ooops File "In Use" when it's not...not a problem

Thanks Joel,

Netwatcher is one of the M$ Windows (95/98 and maybe 2K) system tools.
Shows who is connected to your shares, what files they have open etc. and
allows you to disconnect them :-)  Seems that if the "client" crashes, and
then tries to reconnect after reboot, finds that the files are "in use" by
their previous connection so disconnecting them via Netwatcher is the way to
reset the file lock.

I _think_ the same action could be performed for Linux/Samba using the Kill
option in SWAT - if the problem ever arrises.

I'll crawl back under my desk now

Many thanks again.

Mike
