I too need help with samba.

[Holmes, Steve]

I don't know, I read that NFS was slower and "not as good" as samba.  Heck,
I use Samba for all my file sharing needs.  It seemed like I had a more
difficult time implementing NFS on my setup.

Well said Scott. The thing is that few people are even aware of the
abilities of Samba. I certainly wasn't, and still I think there are
abilities I am not aware of. It goes way beyond simple things such as file
and printer sharing.

That said, I would encourage you to use samba for what it was intended and
designed for. (This means don't use samba to share files between linux
boxes. NFS is more suited for this.) But name an NT function and samba
probably has an answer.

Nothing is hard if you know the answer or are used to doing it.
