Er, what is the exact question????
From what you've written, it sounds like you're asking
if Samba preseves Unix file creation/deletion/read/write
semantics...
NFS Samba
Create/delete yes yes
Read yes yes
Write no yes
It has trouble preserving *DOS* semantics, as it has to
translate them into Unix attributes.
Are you planning to use Samba in place of NFS on
a Unix client????
