Yes and no.

Samba cannot do this *but* Samba probably doesn't need to.  Linux can
mount NFS so you should be able to simply mount the NFS share first and
then neglect to tell Samba that it isn't a normal directory.  As far as
I know, Samba has no way of knowing the difference. This should work
especially well with a read only share because you won't need oplocks or
special cacheing or anything.

| Can samba connect to an NFS share and then re-export that share so my

| (using IPX) with something that can do the same thing but over IP.  I am
| pretty sure Novell and AD can share files using Native File Access, but
| that would require the Novell admins to get CIFS setup on the Novell
| side.  The Novell server we are using has NFS already setup and getting
| that much setup was like pulling teeth.
