Numerous company's do not have Client Services for NFS installed on any Windows 7 or later workstations or servers. So cannot use NFS shares. Their company policy does not allow it. No need to go into why that is. We have to work around this. Samba is a good solution. Nothing has to be installed on windows workstations/servers. Rob have you been able to download the samba release from the IBM site?
