We should *really* have something about this in the FAQ
Replacing NT as a Mac/Win server is a big "market"
for us, and issues like file locking, special characters
e.a. is very important, especially when M$ supporters start
with their FUD...
It would be very nice if we could cooperate/integrate with
samba even more.
