I want to set up a FreeBSD file server and want to choose the 
appropriate method.  The filesytems must be mounted on the client, 
always available, and transparent to the user.

NFS for *nix to *nix only
NIS for better management of NFS

Can OSX mount and respond to NFS/NIS?
What other OSs can use this?
Are user names and passwords encrypted?

Netatalk for FreeBSD to Appletalk Macs OS9 and X Only

What other OSs can use this?
Are user names and passwords encrypted?


Samba for any *nix running samba, OS X, Windows Machines

Are user names and passwords encrypted?
What other OSs can use this?


Any thing for connecting to a Novell Server?
NDS and Bindrey
IPXSPX and TCP/IP


Am I missing any?
