[olug] SMB NAS devices

[Phil Brutsche]

I can give you a definitive answer on the file permissions question
later tonight.

You will need to make sure you have some sort of unified identity
management to make sure all the Linux machines and your WSS2k8 storage
box agree on the uid numbers.

The question is irrelevant for iSCSI as it does not deal with files.
iSCSI exports block devices.
