After much pain and time spent I have samba working on my slackware server which is connected to an xp pro client.

This is only a test environment, as once the server is deployed it will be a fileserver for 9 xp clients. I am supposed to get samba configured so that only one client can access at a time, and all other users are locked out until that client 'releases' the server.
I have been reading the o'reilly samba book, but it doesnt look like I will be able to read the book/get it all set up before my deadline,... so can someone point me to 'lighter' documentation or possibly tell me what to do in this situation?
thanks

What you need to do is limit the number of concurrent connections. This shows you what you need to do. http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/server_security.html
