[Samba] 3.0.25b problems, was: Offline files enabled clients are loosing network drives

[Henry Jensen]

Hello,

FYI: Samba 3.0.25a is running again here for two days after the downgrade from 3.0.25b, 
no problems any more so far.

In fact quite the different: I got backfeed from users that the network is now
"a lot faster".

Regards,

Henry
