[nflug] how to mount samba share

[Richard Hubbard]

There are a few reasons. The most obvious is  interoperability.  "Mounting Samba shares" is the phrase generally used to connect to windows boxen.  second, if you are already using samba to connect to windows, it is no big shake to connect to *nix boxes using samba.
Third, NFS development, for all intents and purposes ended years ago.  Samba is still in development and is a little more stable way of connecting.
the last that i know of is : nfs is very insecure.  Samba is a much more secure way of connecting file shares. (Notice that i'm comparing here.  scp is still much more secure than either.)

Please forgive my ignorance, but why would you use samba here instead of 
just using nfs? (mount server:/share /mount/point) Seems like extra work 
all around. Is there some advantage to samba here that I'm missing?

Just curious,
