A samba server allows you to export directories from a non-Windows box such that they look like shared Windows directories. - Since NT already has the capability to share directories in the way that Windows does it, there's no need to run a samba server on it. - Since the Linux box will only be mounting samba shares, not exporting them, it doesn't need to run a samba server either. It just needs a samba client, such as a kernel built with SMB filesystem support. -- "Two words: Windows survives." - Craig Mundie, Microsoft senior strategist "So does syphillis.
