I use both NFS and samba to share /home on a linux server to linux and windows clients, on a lan with a linux firewall. Samba works for sharing /home to linux, however it doesn't correctly track file permissions and this causes a lot of problems loading .xsession and a few other things I can't remember right now. -- Stephen Patterson http://patter.mine.nu/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] remove SPAM to reply Linux Counter No: 142831 GPG Public key: 252B8B37 Caution: breathing may be hazardous to your health. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
