Subject:   PCNFS access?  What do you do??

What do you people do about allowing PCs to access filesystems via
NFS?  (I have some Windows 95 users that want to access my FreeBSD's
filesystems using some NFS client program (sorry, I don't know its
name).)

I note that there is a flag in rc.conf (I'm running 2.2.2R) called
"weak_mountd_authentication" that results in the "-n" flag being
passed to mountd.  Also, there is ap package called pcnfsd that
performs NFS authentication and print requests.  Which does one
use?  Are they both neccessary or are they mutually exclusive?

Any help or guidance on this would be most appreciated!

Thanks,
