Hello,
NFS is useful to dish out shares to unix boxes and those systems that
actually support NFS e.g.PC-NFS or a Mac OS X box setup for NFS, Sun box
or any Unix or Unix like OS. So think of it as Unix file server
software.
Samba is basically something that simulates an NT file server, such as
NT 4.0 or Windows 2000 server or something similar. Its useful for a
replacement of an NT server if you want to maintain the same Unix and NT
users in one place. You could have a scenario where you want to export a
share say /home from your nfshost to another machine say sambahost over
nfs and then use the smb/cifs protocol via samba to share it out to
windows. HTH ...
Cheers,
Aly.
