so, the old school way is to use nis (or ypbind). this will still work for you (it isn't secure but you can set it up in a few minutes. the modern way is ldap and a ticketing system (kerberos) but seriously, don't try - it's hard and overkill. the end result is to have global uid / gid. then you setup nfs and export for that ip / mask and you can mount it from your remote host. what i'd suggest is to export /mnt and have your host automatically mount devices under a subdirectory to /mnt and then you'll be able to read it from your remote host. you could even have udev do a 'notify-send' to your remote machines when you insert media (but, obviously this is overkill since you know when you've inserted media into your own computers - just fun :) ). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
