sorry, but i am not so savvy as i am just beginning to use SMB lately.
noticed that Apple SMB sometimes needs to be "restarted" eg. ticked off and on to get operational again, which is quite annoying, but ok.
also, it seems not to play very well with Windows.
i looked through those 2 Cifs and NFS sample files, but really don't know what to do with them.
as a failsafe, i use FTP shares, as Snow Leopard still has the FTP File Sharing option inhouse, but the problem with that lies again that when using FTP shares, none of the DVD Folder would play (i assume it is because of username:password issue, which in case of FTP share is not being asked), and with Samba Share those would play (after getting asked for username:password)
am i right in assuming that the cifs.sample file is for setting up a path to samba share?
nfs share would probably need a server version of macos?
