Hopefully, Samba will be able to replace NFS soon. UNIX extensions have
been added to the CIFS protocol in Samba (code donated by HP and already
being used in HP's CIFS (HP CIFS/9000?) appliances which is based on
Samba).

The client side issues are being worked on ATM. The server side is
complete. 

Die NFS Die!!! :)
