Would you choose to deploy Samba on a newly setup network?
Have your experiences with Samba been different?
We have had a great experience with Samba, but perhaps have not stretched
its capabilities. It is inconvenient that the password hashes are
different, but we live with that. What is the alternative? I'd like to
convert all the clients to Linux, but short of that how does one mount
Unix storage on Windows PCs? Is the MS Gateway for NFS better? Do you have
experience with it? There is some information about it here:

but I have never heard of anyone using it. I don't see that it makes
permission or username mapping any easier.
