[nflug] nfs and samba

[Darin Perusich]

samba and nfs should play nicely together, samba will honor the the unix 
permissions. you don't need to use any special share options for the nfs 
shares/exports, other then like 'rw' for a netgroup if necessary. just 
make sure that the windows users are in sync the unix accounts and that 
they exist in the groups you want.

my nfs server exports about 1Tb+ of the same data to solaris, linux, and 
windows hosts and it's seemless. my nfs server is solaris but that 
souldn't matter. are you windows machines in a domain or AD?
