Hello Yall!

Can anyone point me to a good explination on the differences in 
NFS and Samba. 

As I understand it, NFS allows unix clients to connect to a 
centralized set of files on the NFS server.  Also, the NFS can be a 
client to another NFS server.

Samba only allows users to connect to its shares as if they were a 
NT Server.  A Samba share can only be a network server, not a 
network client.

Please clearify this if possible.

Thanks,

Charles
