I created some slides diagraming this issue in simplistic terms for Microsoft management when I was attempting to persuede them to uncomment the MultipleUsersOnConnection code from the W2000 redirector (to no avail). If you think that they could be useful for officially documenting the issue, I can email you the pdf directly (I do not want to dump a big file in everyone's inbox).

I have searched for some FAQ/HOWTO regarding Citrix/Metaframe to no avail. (Like this one http://samba.org/~jht/HOWTO/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf )
What I would like to see in such a FAQ/HOWTO:
Are you willing to help write this? You too can make a difference you know!
- Compilation issues regarding Citrix/metaframe - - ie the need to increase the MAX_CONNECTION setting before compilation - - ie how to compile samba to a 64 bit application to get more available file descriptors (problem for solaris) - the need to tweak the /etc/system settings (ie "set rlim_fd_max = <number>") - oplocks settings in smb.conf - the single smbd process issue and workaround(s) (wins and DNS-proxy/netbios names?) - the home-share issue and problem
All these issues, and probably more, I feel are related to
Citrix/metaframe vs. Samba. If I am wrong and somewhere there is a FAQ
regarding this then all the better. Just need to find it. ;-) If not
then it is most neeeded.
Good points! Will you contribute some text that we can add to the HOWTO?
Information like this gets documented when someone with your kind of passion writes some basic guidelines and contributes it to the HOWTO. Please do not leave this to others, while the needs are fresh in your mind please write a few paragraphs on each and send them to me for inclusion.
Cheers, John T.
And Samba4? What is this? :-) Due 2005?

We are having problems when connecting to our Solaris 8 server Zeus
from our Windows 2000 Terminal Servers.
I think you might be hitting two of the nastiest bugs with that combination.
Firstly, there are issues with Solaris 8, and TDB locks, for which there is a solaris kernel patch (it's an fcntl issue). But more importantly, there is an issue caused by the way Windows Terminal Server clients connect - they all use the same smbd. This causes all their operations to be serialised, even worse if something blocks.
The best solution is to call your system by as many names as
possible. For example, call it by one name per user,
particularly for roaming profiles. (So make a user's profile
path/homedir \\zeus-username\username or the like). Use DNS
(with a samba wins server set to 'dns proxy') or fixed
entires in your wins.dat, or an lmhosts file, to force the
multiple names. Samba doesn't mind what it gets called.
