Yes, except that that's what we're trying to replace. SNC was EOL'ed
almost 3 years ago and is not compatible with Windows 2000.

I have tried the server-based solutions (SMB, PC Netlink), and they are a
royal pain the keester. I want something that I can use to handle logins
on the windows box via NIS. PC-NFS on the backend is possible, but I'd
rather not.
