Can the same Windows share be mounted by two different users on a  
single Linux system?

This is a back-burner issue, but ran across it and wondered.  I had  
ssh'ed into one of our linux boxes and then used smbmount to mount a  
Windows share (e.g. //foo/share).  A few minutes later a colleague of  
mine logged into the same linux box and also tried to mount //foo/ 
share, but was denied (//foo/share is already mounted.)  Only when I  
unmounted using smbumount was my colleague able to mount the share,  
but then I was not.  We were able to work around this (a few changes  
in mount points and permissions and all was good enough), but  
wondered if preventing multiple mounts for a Windows share is a  
limitation in Samba/Windows or if we need to adjust some setting or  
something else?

This is a FC4 box with Samba 3.0.14a-2.

Thanks in advance for any pointers.
