Actually, I do not know, since I have not yet used NT myself. That's
what I
heard in the Softimage mailing list. I'll ask there if you want. It
might be a feature, maybe of Samba, or some other add-on to NT.

No. Aliases allow you to use a made-up command for another one (for
example, type "d" for dir/list).
I am a little embarassed to say I do not really know what shadows are.
I've seen them mentioned a couple of times in the Unix world, but never
used them, or tried to find out what they were. Maybe you can teach me.
Links (in both the Unix and Amiga world - yes WE had that, but never used
them. Its implementation was a little bit awkward and limited, since
both files had to be in the same volume) is the ability to create a file
with a size of 0, which actually points to another file in your hard
disk.
So, whenever a program tries to read this fake file or dir, it will
actually
read the other, full file instead. In Unix (if you do FTP, you probably
have seen this), this is shown as something like this:
