We use Samba to allow multiple administrative assistants to cut and paste professors web pages from their Windows desktop machines to our Solaris web server.  This saves the hassle of having people FTP files every time they want to update a web page.  This is the  reason we use Samba right now.

We do not have very many users (less than 100).
