Not true. Mac OS X Tiger plays nicer with NFS than SMB for me, and I have little issues once I get past the initial pain in the arse parts. Besides, I get lowsy performance with SMB, which definitely made NFS a shoo-in. What does your line look like that you're trying to export in your /etc/exports file on your freebsd box, what's the path you are trying to mount in finder, and what does the console say on your mac (applications -> utilities -> console) after you try and mount the share? -Garrett
