/_I think the point is he has Solaris boxes with NFS exports and he wants 
/_to be able to mount them with the Windows boxes.  Rather than getting an 
/_NFS client for Win2k or a samba server on a solaris box I think he wants 
/_to put a linux box in the middle ... thus the gateway.  That is, the 
/_Linux box will mount the NFS exports on the suns and then in turn show 
/_those as samba shares that that the win boxes can mount.

/_This may work.  It may suck too.  But it may work.  Then again there 
/_could be a very specific reason it doesn't work (one which eludes me at 
/_the moment).

That why I prefaced my message w/am I missing something?  :-) Thanks
for clarifying what he needs.
