hehe, i find it very entertaining.  i could almost allow myself to
believe that smbfs is a superior network fs.  given that my experieneces
with NFS on linux are all bad.  but i do know better, and i know that
NFS does work on every other unix i've used.

i've recently tried coda[1], and altho it works as a client out of the box
( on my MDK cooker system ), i havent had much success setting up my own
server.  the current version i've installed requires kerberos
authentication, and that's where my problems start.  YMMV, building from
source might help, but i cant say much about how well it works.

 Frankly, Scarlett, I don't have a fix
