Does everyone here misunderstand what Tim is trying to do?

He wants to mount the NT *ON* his linux box, using something to mount smb
partitions, and then use his linux box to share this resultant connection
out to Macs on his network using netatalk.

Having him connect to NT's Mac File Services would defeat any purpose, since
it would be 4-5 times slower than connecting via smb - granted, while you
could hack it to work, the result would be an incredibly slow and unreliable
connection.

Actually, what Tim proposes *could* conceivably work, but why...?

Come on, everyone - THINK!
