NFS
So that UID/GID security can be retained between linux boxes on the

samba can deal with permissions in a sane enough fashion.
You really think NFS is better than CIFS/smbfs?
I have been thinking about this for a while and welcome some discussion
on the matter. I prefer samba even for linux to linux shares, with a
nice smb browser like smb4k clients don't have to touch the command
line. I have always been wary of the lack of security and authentication
in NFS. Samba seems so much richer a platform for file sharing, and if
you have a mixed network, everything talks to it fairly well. With an
ldap backend that also authenticates Linux users to login to their
boxes, it should be pretty seamless (it is in a few places I have tried)
