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 :-).
Jeremy.
