New Safe NetBEUI
I want to do file sharing between a Windows and a Samba box. I'm behind a firewall on a private network. How safe is it to use Windows File and Print sharing? What exactly needs to be done to secure it? I don't remember the details and I'm too lazy to look it up. Help me out.

New By secure, do you mean safe from intruders?
Becase if that's the case, just block ports 137, 138 and 139 in both directions on your firewall. And note that AFAIK Samba doesn't speak NetBEUI; only NBT. But that's what Windows would prefer to speak anyway.

Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
 
Is it enough to die
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be Anything but Ordinary
Please
