Do you remember how the first Compaq PC was build? They did a clean room implementation of the (by then) proprietary IBM PC BIOS. I wonder if, instead of constantly bash GPL alternatives to proprietary products, have you ever contacted the author(s) and/or implemented a BSDL version yourself. I've recently done that, in case you're going to ask: http://www.brettglass.com/downloads/bgcc-0.0.tar.gz > Even though NFS implements "security" via the strict and rigorous > process of checking IP addresses (and we all know that IP addresses > can NEVER be spoofed). ;-) IPsec'd NFS is okay in most cases. Even plain NFS is far better than CIFS. About lack of nfs clients for MS operating systems, have you considered writing one? Or are you just waiting for someone else to do it? Intergraph used to sell a quite okay version, which could be easily fed into IDAPro and reverse engineered in 2-3 weeks. > (for a few of them) MacOS.

Install a newbie Linux distro for them, then. > If SAMBA were truly free, there'd be no need to do so.
