Re: Samba vs NFS

HI,

neither the one nore the other is statet as "secure", but in case u want to 
share with windows you have to use samba!!!

from my point of few: you have to install one service thats insecure, why 
install a second one?
installing nfs would give u more perfomance for unix-clients but adds 
securityholes and u have 2 keep more software uptodate!

instead of nfs qhy not try afs? should be more secure...

sorry for my bad english,
best regards
