iMAC and Linux

[Aaron Grewell]

I'm not sure why SMB is any more "bogus" than NFS, since both have security
reputations that should make their respective creators wince.  Regardless,
SMB is the lowest common denominator.  Everything (even NetWare, for crying
out loud) now speaks SMB.

Given that, why would one want to use bogus file sharing like SMB when NFS
is available?
