You can then go to YaST > network services > NFS Server. You must have installed nfs-kernel-server and it is nice to have yast-nfs-server. IMHO it is simple: when no MS OS is involved go for NFS, else for Samba. These restrictions are made as tranparent as possible, but they are still there. Specialy in the situation where Linux systems mount Windows file systems there are restrictions because the windows file systems do not support e.g. Samba is designed to let Unix/Linux sysems act as File/printer servers for Windows systems (and later vv). It supports Unix/Linux features like user/group ownership and access bits. NFS is for remote mounting of directories between Unix/Linux systems. To help you in the decision, it is not simple NFS or Samba depending on the time of the day. When you decide fort NFS I can try to help you, or when you want more NFS gurus looking into your problem, make a new thread with an appropriate title. May be starting a new thread with something like “Problems with Samba” in the title, to get the Samaba gurus to the rescue (not me, forgot almot everything about the little Samba knowledge I had). When you decide for Samba you should work with Swerdna’s Howto given above and ask when runing into problems. Now please, can you decide on which you want to try to get running, Samba or NFS.
