It's certainly an option, but the grand answer is not necessarily. He
can easily use samba, and in fact samba is the default on Ubuntu karmic
(you can google it). If he has Win machines on his network, then it's
just as easy to configure samba all around.

Nonsense. There are considerable differences between flavours of samba
on 8.04, 9.04, and 9.10. I've found that for the most part samba w/9.10
just works across my machines. I suspect the same for NSF.
