I'm not a fan of NFS... but it can be useful in situations where file permissions are important... and Samba can be /such/ a bitch to configure permissions properly - more often I end up giving full guest access and just limit it by IP rather that deal with mapping users, etc. Also, it's handy having an nfs server for working directly on source code from Windows, else the Unix host would appear on the local Network Neighbourhood =) gdh
