Samba I totally get.

Multiple PC's writing to a file on a Samba share would create
some interesting scenarios.

But why does Apache need it?

It should read files to serve - and since it is serving VMS files
then I think it be as VMSish as possible so totally standard RMS.
And it should write sequential text files like access.log.

What am I missing?
