I only installed nfs because I started to use this server as a media
server, and I wanted my family to be able to add movies to the movie folder
on the server. Mediatomb then scans the folder and makes the movies
available on our nifty wifi enabled TV.

Would samba be a better choice? The other computers on the network are mac,
windows, ubuntu. However, the windoes user has a low probability of adding
any movies by herself....;) (no gender bashing here.....I live with four
wonderful women, and one of them is a complete techo-phobe, and she is
proud of it.....but that helps keep me around, so all is good with the
world).
