ARGH! I'm wondering if airing thoughts about VFAT performance publicly

I doubt VFAT's case insensitivity would be worth dealing with its terrible

There are some very advanced networking stacks which allow you to specify
filtering based on TCP fingerprints. OpenBSD does, for example.

That's an interesting way to go and I think it *would* work but my

In order to deal with bizarre MS Office junk, it looks like I may have

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.
This will not automatically work against Samba, as we mimic NT4, which
didn't know about NTP.
But you can manually configure the NTP server on the client, and run an
NTP server on your PDC if you wish.
The Microsoft time services are substandard and do not implement a full NTP

There _is_ a write-read ntfs driver available for Linux. It's
called Captive. I've not tested it myself. So I can only inform.
Yes, I know. But it's dangerous to actually use, and can only be safely
used to overwrite files of exactly the same size, which has been used by
various Windows

We have had our server blocked as it is probing port 25
Port 25 is the SMTP (mail delivery) port. Maybe your Samba server is trying

Finally , booting LINUX mounts the NTFS file systems (from fstab file),

Correct. The ntfs filesystem on linux is still very early, and writing to
an NTFS volume will cause it to be damaged unless what+how you write is
carefully restricted. For your purposes,
