Question #634563 on samba4 in Ubuntu changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/samba4/+question/634563

    Status: Needs information => Open

imker gave more information on the question:
Well, there are several reasons why I use smb and not sshsf for this.

1. Better access right control. It's quiet easy to set different umask,
access control... for each smb share. It would not be easy to setup this
with sshfs that accurate. And not all smb client users have ssh access
to the file server

2. Performance: SSHFS causes much more load on client and server as
smbfs

3. Common administration: It helps a lot that I have to configure the
shares only once for Windows and Linux clients.

By the way, I find it a bit rude when the fist answer points on
different technology. Most times there are reasons why people doing
thing like they do.
