R/O sharing with only one writer shouldn't be a problem. R/W sharing will take some planning, in that file locking is done differently in Samba and NFS, and consistency may not be maintained to all the various locking possibilities. Also, Windows apps tend to rely on byte-range locks, which aren't really implemented very well in NFS. > I would also like to bring in SMB file sytem from z/OS.

You may also want to look at BSI's NJE/Bridge, if the problem is reliable, easily automated file transfer from z/OS to Windows. NJE is a lot easier to use than the SMB or NFS clients in that file transfer becomes the problem of coding a DEST=(node, user) on your DD card. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
