[Samba] CD sharing via iso9660, mounted, and samba

[Shane Kennedy]

I just turned off op-locks on the shares which I was having problems with.
I have diplicated the particular program, so that only 4 w/s's are 
accessing each of 2 copies.
smb.conf attached.  4 w/s's running WShark2, 4 using 2a. these are 
softlinks to /mnt/iso/WShark2, and 2a, which are the mounts of 2 
identical images.
These have to be mapped drives from the windows point-of-view, hence the 
individual shares, and the soft links.  Would the soft links have any 
relevance ?.   I did (from /mnt) ln -s iso/WShark2.

TIA
Shane
