Using Samba as a gateway to NFS has been in use for
a while.  You just NFS mount the remote fs and re-export
via Samba.  No changes necessary.

Can't say that I would recommend re-export an smbfs or
cifsvfs file system via NFS.

Are you looking for network administration projects
or coding projects ?





cheers, jerry
