Turns out with OS X Leopard it's a simple matter of doing a Cmd-K (connect to server) and entering:
nfs://name_of_server_or_IP_address/share_name I also saw the post on "become root, do the voodoo" - and none of that is necessary. We haven't done any tests to compare NFS with Samba, generally I understand that NFS can be much faster. In this particular application the files being shared in the computer lab are quite large, and high speed is important.
