I feel your pain. You *CAN* just oplock veto all M$ Office files instead. > What kinds of problems, if any could arise from my having disabled > the oplocks? Just lower performance. Oplocks are "OPportunistic LOCKS", which provide for client-side caching to be performed safely. No oplocks, no caching. What I always wonder though is whether or not these oplock problems plague Windows NT/2000 file servers as well, or if it's just an achilles heel within Samba. =MB= -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
