I have never set up samba client on a linux machine so I am not a good sorce of info on that. I have two servers that are samba servers and windows boxes from 98 thru xp all see them perfectly. I have considered using samba on all of the services and doing away with nfs but have never had the time to research how well linux clients would play with it. I try to reserve my limited admin time for stuff that needs fixing right now :) When I do get some IT time it is usually spent coding enhancments for some portion of our system. Seems like I read somewhere that samba really merges the best of both worlds (MS and *nix) but I just have a hard time trusting MS stuff, largely because I don't understand it as well I guess. BTW on a RH 7.1 server the entire using samba o'reilly book "Using Samba" is buried under /usr/share/swat/using_samba It probably has everything you want to know but did not even know enough to ask :) I suspect 7.2 has it as well. it is included in the samba-swat rpm. swat is the webbased gui tool put out by the samba guys.
