I would not be investigating SAMBA if I could successfully export a VMS file system thru a NFS gateway on NT with user-level granularity. Alas, there are no NIS, NIS+ or LDAP apps for VMS, and VMS does not carry its user/password structures in an open text file. That would seem to preclude the known technologies for easily/maintainable getting user-level granularity on a NFS gated export.

I'm privately iterating w/JYC, the implementer. (Tried both 2.2.7a releases)
