SAMBA v2, from what I remember.

This might explain why most of the Linux boxes WON'T talk to the Puppy server, cos it is shared as root.  I beleive their are ways to add users to Puppy, but by default, it does not use....users.  

Then again, Puppy was never designed to be used as a NAS, really, I am bending it a bit to my will.  

At this point in time, I probably should be looking at something like OMV etc, which DOES have users, permissions, ZFS(provided you have lots of RAM!)....

It would require a different computer though, if I was to go down the ZFS path, as the dinky wee 4GB/8GB machines I have here, won't do ZFS.  They'd be OK on ext4 though, I suppose.

Also, OMV has it's own web-interface thing, so no need to try to get a VNC server running for remote desktop etc.

Some things to think about.
