Question about Samba:
I some linux FS is shared via Samba to a winbloze box that is compromised
with BO2K or the like, wouldn't the shared filesystem (and potentially
that host) also be compromised??? I know BO2K allows such full access,
to passwords, and the "network neighborhood"... those back orifice users
tend to crawl around that way(?). So I'd think that Samba could only be
as secure as all the connected systems (then again, using samba to share
solely from linux-linux seems secure). NFS has known problems. If its
all behind a firewall then none of that should matter (according to the
firewall's capability and configuration). Anyone using Samba for sharing
linux printers?? Are you using (gnome's?) 'cups' system?
