   I have a bunch of dumb winders users .....

   And the auditors are really keen on making sure nobody
   sees anything they shouldn't.

   While it CAN be done with pure SAMBA pretty decently I've
   had to use proper NAS systems at this point to handle the
   multitude of finer details AND just to manage the whole
   mess conveniently. Everybody keeps wanting MORE little
   secret hidey-holes for their "special" files too and I've
   just stopped even arguing with them ......

   Real World, Real Humans ... sucks sometimes .........

   Maybe the AI Overlords won't be so bad ......   :-)

   As said, for a single-user/"home" setup then NFS is
   perfectly good and, within its sphere, "easier" and
   thus perhaps "better".
