Only if the OSes are running on separate machines. I believe what the
original poster was talking about was sharing the partition between
different OSes that will (at different times) run on the same
machine. In this case, Samba doesn't help.

Of course this brings up the idea of running VMware on the machine,
with Linux (or NT) as the host OS, and NetBSD and NT (or Linux) as
client OSes. In this case, Samba probably *would* help - you would
just format the disk as ffs (or ext2fs), then share it out to the
other VMs with Samba and NFS (it seems like this should work, although
I can't say as I've never run VMware).
