   Win 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP.  All behave the same way on this.
   
   Check your /opt directory on your system.  My guess is that it should look 
something like the following:

drwxr-xr-x      2  root wheel   0 May  1 10:10  opt

   This means that the virtual directory where you're mounting your nfs 
shares does not have any space available.  When you try to share this 
directory with samba, everything under it will show 0 space free.
   Try this: make a new share on your system, which looks like this:

[win_test]
        path = /opt
        read only = Yes
        guest ok = Yes
        browseable = Yes

   After mounting a _directory_ under [win_test] on a client, and looking at 
the properties, you'll probably see that the share has 0 space.  ;-)

   What you've got below works _because_ the actual share is _not_ of the 
/opt directory directly.
