Hey,

NFS is not needed for samba to work.
If you want to mount windows shares from a Linux box you will need to compile
your kernel with CONFIG_SMB_FS
either as a module or built-in.

This is not necessary if you only want to mount Linux shares from the windows
boxes.

	2.	I am setting a small network of at present 2 computers, soon to be 5.
(What the **?! does one person want with 5 computers, I hear you say).
Some are old boxes being recycled.  I want to run some as Windows boxes and
use Samba.  I have done a huge amount of reading, including Richard
Sharpe's excellent book, but I am not sure whether I can just run Samba or
whether I also need NFS as well.  I have gotten the two computers speaking,
as I can ping each other from the other one.  Will Samba be enough, or is
there more to it.  I presume I now need to set my configuration files.
