David,

Access to samba is through TCP/IP as supporting protocol. 
Your colleague can access NT or WfWg machines from DOS 'cause this
uses ONLY NetBEUI, not TCP/IP (the MS Wolverine stack runs
only in Windows...) I fear he'll have to use a DOS box.
I tried the NET commands in a DOS box and they work OK.

	I am able to have a server participate in a second workgroup
accross subnets, and speed is good across my T1 (Nice fast remote office 8)


	My question is, can I make a server participate in 2 workgroups on
the same subnet? I tried having two "G" lines in lmhosts, and log.nmb reports
finding master servers for both local groups, but the server only appears in
one browse list.

	Is this a Lanmanager/windows thing (ie does protocol prevent having
two identical machine names in different groups?)

   the number of read request made based on buffer size.  Can a request for a
   file be recorded easily in one log line with:
	   file name requested
	   requested by whome
	   time & date

Ok, for 1.9.13alpha6 I have added a level 2 log entry of that form.

   If so I then ask the next question,  can one then lock a file for use by
   upto say 10 people???

That's more difficult. Mostly clients open an application, read it,
then close it again, not keeping it open while the application is
running. How can Samba tell if someone is still using it?

There is a "max connections" option, but that applies to a whole
share, not one file.

I'm open to suggestions.

Andrew
