Samba yes, port 139(*), the host you are tunneling from will need
to be allowed to access the share.  NFS, don't know.

(*) Can be tunnelled from a Windows machine if you:
1. Install a loopback interface on 10.0.0.x (**)
2. Do the forwarding from 10.0.0.x:139 to the server port 139
3. Point windows at the share on 10.0.0.x:139
(**) Apparently there's some issue with 127.0.0.x loopbacks,
but I've never investigated.
