Not too mention that samba due to it's light-weight both client and server provides a good alternative to nfs in unstable environments...
A dead nfs-server can almost kill it's clients, especially under linux... While the whimsy nature of smb has made most OSes (apart from windows) pretty ignorant to how it behaves, happy when it's working and ignorant the rest of the time...
Ignorance is bliss!

is there a free file server protocol that runs on Win 98 and XP that doesn't mangle filenames. Samba doesnt appear to have a package that actually runs on Windows.
