That takes me into new territory - at least NFS does.  Isn't CIFS the latest 
protocol for samba?

When I first set up samba, several years ago, the OS implied that they were 
exclusive.  I can't remember the exact dialogue, but when defining a share, I 
was asked whether it was smb or nfs, and when I chose smb it said nfs would 
be disabled.

I'm reluctant to add complications, but if nfs is the answer to this 
particular problem then I'll get reading.
