No offense but trust me, Chris S. knows a LOT about Linux/Unix. He is well aware of the filesystems and permission structures of Unix systems (he has taught the Linux+ course). I believe he was referring to the additional restrictions one can put in the samba.conf file to help secure your Samba server, over and above the usual Linux file permission structure.

And I agree, if it is strictly between unix hosts, smb is a waste of resources, the only advantage would be if you wanted windows users to share at the same time.
The other advantage is that you can set up a very much more detailed permission structure than is possible with nfs.
Excuse me? what permission structure? Folks, Unix and Windows have different filesystems, and storage paradigms, it case you hadnt noticed.
