We have a small office network (2 Macs, 3 PCs and a Thecus N5200 Pro NAS). I have constant problems with Samba - I am an advanced user, not an IT guru, and premissions, copy/move/delete and access problems in the mixed Mac/PC environment are a constant headache.
It isn't that we have a messed up setup (we have everything set up by the book...), but it is problems with using SMB in a mixed environment that I can see by searching around on the net others are running into as well (people who are much better at this stuff than I am are having similar problems with SMB with Macs and PCs).
I know little about NFS and I wonder if using NFS instead of CIFS/SMB would solve these problems? Or, for that matter, anything else our NAS can do (it also does AFP).
Would any of them solve the constant problems we are having with SMB?
