Hi,

The POMS say about this item:

 > Mount remote filesystems using NFS, configure NFS for exporting local
 >filesystems, start, stop, and restart the NFS server. Install and
 >configure Samba using the included GUI tools or direct edit of the
 >/etc/smb.conf file (Note: this deliberately excludes advanced NT domain
 >issues but includes simple sharing of home directories and printers, as

I have a feeling that candidates should be aware of the fact that some 
file systems cannot be exported via NFS. Eg, smbfs, ncpfs, reiserfs 
(unless this has been fixed recently).

Secondly, I am not sure about "setting nmbd as a WINS client".

Was the intention that LPIC-1 candidates know that nmbd can act as a 
WINS server (wins support = yes), or that it can use WINS for resolving 
NetBIOS names (name resolve order = wins ...). If the latter, there is 
little point, unless the Windows clients cannot use WINS.
