I once tried to pollute my A1200 with Samba server, it was horrible... it was constantly making writes to hd even if I didn't use it. I guess there's always some checking for samba machines on network and writing stats/configs for it. Bad idea with fragile mem corrupting system like Amiga :)
But if you do some tricks to disable or link those writes out of hd, or write more sane version of the whole server, why not.. but until then I won't be using those standard ports on my machines :) It's enough for me to access those remote shares _from_ MorphOS... or if I use rdesktop, its sharing capabilities look good. I once uploaded movies directly from MorphOS hd to youtube with browser on PC controlled with rdesktop and it went all fine.
