Gentlemen;

Previously I've run Samba on my linux servers to allow access from my
Windoze desktops. This worked with limitations but was usable.

Now I've replaced many of my desktops with Linux workstations and I have
tried mounting the same samba shares successfully but I'm experiencing
quite some difficulties with ownerships and permissions (especially
permissions).

My research and other groups are telling me that I should rely on *nix
native network sharing (nsf?) to accomplish this.

So, to attest to my ignorance on this issue, please explain if nsf is the
preferred way to go AND how it should normally be mounted?

I have servers and a nas device and I have been playing with variations of
the mount -t nsf blah blah without any success.

go to google; search for "nfs howto"

use /etc/exports on the serving system and
an entry in /etc/fstab on the client system.
