Strange.  I've got a mixed network here - Linux / AIX / HPUX / NT and err... 
Win95.  The file and print server is a RedHat 8.0 box running Samba. It's not 
yet the primary domain controller for the MS stuff (though it'll have to be 
one day because there isn't one at the moment.  

Apart from the fact that NT's propensity to preserve but ignore case in 
filenames occasionally gives us pause for thought, it's seamless. And it's 
the easiest way I've yet found of printing from NT on a *IX printer.
