samba

Oh.... I don't believe in user space VFS systems anyway - they work great until the moment you try and drag a file from a SMB view into say TextMaker, at which point it barfs because TextMaker doesn't use gnome-vfs (or kword, or mozilla, or....)

They'd be better off doing proper samba integration at the kernel VFS layer, but that's a bit harder + they get the gnome-vfs stuff for free.
