NFS vs SAMBA

[Asko Kauppi]

Do you need proper file permission setup?  (rwx)  At least to me, that 
does not work over Samba.

Also, current Ubuntu smbfs client seems to mess up the user id's (using 
the server's permissions, not the client's). Apart from these, it's 
allright and I'm using it.

Haven't tried NFS, so will be listening to the experiences as keenly as 
you.. :)
