Yeah.  I'm pretty sure you get the idea we think you should work with
the tools and protocols we have rather than re-invent the wheel.

For no-security client-side asserted permissions NFS and sec=sys (or

(slightly) Sorry!

that is not supported internally by Samba, and I wish to inquire about
enthusiasm for keeping open any possibility for considering such
support in future development.
