Samba stalling and transferring at a rate slower than I can retype a file. Samba never managing to connect to the other side. The hassles of manually setting up each user. The hassles of file permissions and ownership getting screwed up in transit. Compared to NFS working without pain. Though, I have to say that my painless NFS server is on a FC4 machine, and that works fine. I've found I've had to manually mess with firewalling to get it to work through anything higher than FC4. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
