>From what I've heard, Samba can be made more secure, and is easier to configure,
say with Webmin or Swat. I know personally I found it much easier dealing with
Samba than NFS; as for the more secure part, I have no direct experience
with that, but I've read several pieces comparing the two and finding Samba a
bit more bullet proof.

Try Googling 'samba vs. nfs' and see whatcha get :-)

There are literally several levels of SCO being wrong. And even if we were to
live in that alternate universe where SCO would be right, they'd still be wrong.
