Is there a way to control the number of times a file can be open 
concurrently? Either with Samba or with RHEL4? Maybe this is a good 
control measure. Limit the number of concurrent opens for any file. This 
way, if more than 20 people try to open the same file, we can restrict 
access allowing the system to keep up.

Thanks
