Actually types of shares takes some getting used to you know user Vs
share Vs server Vs Domain based permissions and when each would be used
..... and then there's that encrypted password issue, and Swat (running
it, and where does it reside, need to be running ... etc.)

You can get NFS to work if you have the right software. There is 3rd
party stuff and MS stuff. Not that it comes with Win2k by default. The
easiest way to do filesharing from a Linux/Unix box to Windows machines
is via Samba. Why you'ld even consider NFS is beyond me.

I've not used NFS from win32 - i considered using an NFS client under
windows once, but definately not exporting from a windows box.
So, unless I magically discover another day between sunday and monday, I
cant help too much :/
The name mapping might be eaier to arrange, as there are plenty of
equivalent services. Mainly aimed at mapping NTDOM names to unix names.
Samba TNG has a winbind daemon which is supposed to do this, IIRC.
My demo's will have a LDAP directory rather than NIS, btw.
