In connecting Windows and UNIX systems for file access, you have two choices:
1. Make UNIX servers expose their resources to SMB-based clients.
Nice wording, "expose"... Now if they would have used the word "M$users" instead of "clients" ;-)
Your UNIX administrator does not have the time, or the inclination to load SMB on the staging server: It introduces greater complexity and security concerns to the server. To meet the requirement, you will have to make your Windows clients work with the UNIX server, not vice-versa. <snip>
Ah :-) They are admitting to the fact that the SMB protocol cannot be made as safe as anything on the UNIX platform. He he ;-) Apart from that I agree that this is typical M$ FUD at its best (worst?).
