Yes, well.  I got carried away.  And when people now search the
mailinglist they might get a thread-hit on Citrix issues here. ;-)

I have posted a 'bug' report: #716.  Tried to follow the guidelines for
filling it in.  Hopefully it is acceptable.

Even single client environments which probably 95% of the usage versus
Samba is in the rest of the world?  It definitely is a problem for
Metaframe users.

You mean as a chapter on Citrix Metaframe for us Samba users?  Some of
the issues I listed are from the mailinglist (which do not directly
consern our current setup) and others we just did to solve a problem and
not to solve the cause of the problem.  But I might attempt to write
something about the problems that we have worked through yes.
