Re: samba or NFS mount
The samba server is designed to make a Unix server look like an NT
server to WinTel boxes. The samba client (which is what you need) is
used to "mount" WinTel shares on your Unix client. Haven't used it in a

the hang of. If you are running a GUI (and I assume you are if you are
viewing spreadsheets) it should probably be pretty straightforward.
