[LUAU] SAMBA or NFS?

[Doug Stanfield]

Samba is probably best when ever Windows is part of the mix.  In order to do
NFS you'd need NFS software to run on the win95 boxes.  Its difficult enough
to get windows native software to run on w95.  A key consideration is that
you keep security issues in mind, in this circumstance at least using
tcp-wrappers on your masqeruading box.
