I got mythfrontend working on a mac, and live tv works great but I was wondering. what is the best method to connect to the /storage/recordings folder on the mythtv backend from the mac. I have samba working and can connect to it that with with both a windows machine and the mac.

I read somewhere I should use a nfs share but that it is hard to setup and insecure. My home network is nated behind a linksys firewall and my isp blocks common ports so I'm not terribly worried about security on this machine.
