but it's use is now deprecated. A short summary of what the old
code did follows.
+LEVEL2 OPLOCKS
+--------------
+
+With Samba 2.0.5 a new capability - level2 (read only) oplocks is
+supported (although the option is off by default - see the smb.conf
+man page for details). Turning on level2 oplocks (on a share-by-share basis)
+by setting the parameter :
+
+level2 oplocks = true
+
+should speed concurrent access to files that are not commonly written
+to, such as application serving shares (ie. shares that contain common
+.EXE files - such as a Microsoft Office share) as it allows clients to
+read-ahread cache copies of these files.
+
Old 'fake oplocks' option - deprecated.
