I have a working Samba 3 config.  Everything was working fine until I 
upgraded from glibc 2.3 to 2.4.  I thought about going back to 2.3.6, but 
I already have some other programs that want 2.4 so I would have to change 
them as well.

OT:  I can get OS X to mount my nfs drives if I use a insecure port, but 
I can't read my directory cause it says I don't have permissions.  Funny 
all my Linux boxes work fine mounting my exported drives, but there is 
something OS X doesn't like that I haven't figured out.

I have a copy of that (not installed) but I do have cygwin installed.

Rather use samba for some stuff, it's much nicer IMHO.
