I wonder why you're using Samba, then? It's not native to Linux, and
you can have to jump through hoops to get proper file permissions, etc.,
set between server and client.
Because the linux >< windows connections may be less frequent but they are
still important, and I prefer just one tool to do it all if possible. And it
is possible - I've done it for years.
For Linux to Linux through Samba there are other extensions to it
for
that to work, but I only experimented with them once before deciding
that NFS was less painful for me.
