6 I'm not shure, I get the point here :)
7 "samba" can only export filesystems known to the OS it's running on. So if you
8 run "samba" on your gentoo-box and you want it to export NTFS-partitions,
9 gentoo must know about NTFS and the partitions have to be mounted as such.
10 So, access "solely thru samba" simply does not work.
11 Could you clarify, why you want to use NTFS?
12 Windows is able to access any linux-filesystem with samba.
