I am quite happy for the report to be sent out. I do not believe I have an ax to grind here. 


While my background is more in Linux over the last few years, it has 
been fun to play around with FreeBSD (and it has more of an Ultrix feel 
to it :-).

I am seeking to understand where I may have made mistakes, and not 
presented FreeBSD in its best light. Greg has already provided me with 
some feedback on that. However, I am also interested in where there 
might be some limits to concurrency (multiple people in the file system, 
etc), because in my new role I will be seeking to make it possible for 
Samba on a FreeBSD base to support 1000s to 10s of thousands of clients.
