Wow. And Samba being (partly) a UK-written project too (at least from me :-). I think the Samba Team members from Novell who work full time on said Samba server in OES might have some follow-ups here, so I think I'll let them do that. FYI. Just for fun, try running smbtorture4 against the CIFSd thing you're running now. I'll be (probably) grimly amused by the results. A warning - don't do that on a production system :-).
