Re: Samba alternative
Hi,
I run Samba and NSF.
Samba as scrach pad to exchange windows machine which can be plugged in
through DHCP. So you can have friend plug into network.
NSF is nice for unix machine since ot is aware of normal unix permission
things. So this isfor between unix/linix/bsd/hurd/...
CODA, Andrews FS, ... leave it to the pros.
