You definitely want to put SFU (Services for UNIX) on the Windoze boxes and provide NFS file shares back to Linux. If at all possible, upgrade your Windows machines to Server 2008. We have experimented with SFU and found the NFS performance to be quite good. The alternative is samba client on the Linux box, which is a pain. Rule of thumb, in a heterogeneous environment, provide the native protocols that the client machine supports. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
