Volker, I scanned the lists and came across quite a few with the same issue I had and you were in a few :). I have found no mention of negative impact as of yet. Did find many posts asking if it would cause negative impact but no definitive answer. I understand that does not mean that there will be no issues.
Seems the solution is to not re export NFS file systems as you mentioned in the posts. I was hoping not to run Samba off of this box to avoid bogging it down but I may have to after all. Actually the box exporting the NFS data is a NT4.0 domain member server and the Samba install has no ADS support built in. I will have to recompile or rebuild I guess. Thank you again.
