Yeah, it would be good to get some clarification about whether Samba is doing some wierd and unnatural with telldir cookies and assuming that they can expropriate the high 32-bits of the telldir cookie for their own purposes or not.... Jeremy, any chance you could clarify whether or not Samba depends on telldir cookies to be small integers? Thanks, - Ted
