Just a side note. Mandrake installs automounting options into the fstab.
This version of automounting and NFS do not mix. If you share an
automounted CD (or directory) via NFS and access it (locally or remotely),
memory fills, swap fills and it all comes down in a heap.

I do not remember having this problem with Samba.
