[lug] Re: [co-sage] NFS clients for windows

[Harris, James]

Well, I can't say that it will work with Windoze 2000, but we used to use
Hummingbird's NFS package.  We didn't utilize all of it's features, but it
had NIS integration and worked well for what we did.  It's very expensive
and has a tendency to take priority over your network stack, but gets the
job done.  You might want to see if it's still around and supported under
2K.

One of the other problems I encountered with using SMB is
ownership/permissions issues. We have the same set of people working on
the same set of files via both NFS and via Windows - and permissions are
locked down pretty tight to a netgroup. Again, we run into the password
issue, on top of it, which is another reason we're looking at a commercial
solution.
