NFS/NIS Recommendations for Windows?

Posted by Cliff on from the playing-nicely-on-the-network dept.

Fembot asks: "The Samba team are doing a great job, but I can't help but feel that making Unix machines serve Windows-based protocols is the wrong approach. Back in the days of Windows95 it shipped with an NFS client on the CD which could be installed optionaly. Are there open source (or even just free as in beer) NFS clients for Windows 2000/XP, and is it possible to authenticate users on Windows desktops via NIS?"

    Windows uses your NFS partitions.

    What the fuck is wrong with the ask slashdot section these days? First we get the stupid question yesterday regarding putting a hard drive ina flash mp3 player (??) and he's Canadian. I figured we were smarter than that.

    Then we get this. Learn to fucking Google. You stupid sack of shit.
