Re: [PLUG] Linux file sharing best practices
|
For a while now I've opted to use samba for pretty much all of my file
sharing
services at home. The UID mapping issues of NFS drive me crazy. I like
NFS when
machines share naming services through LDAP or NIS. I also like NFS when
it's not specifically home directories being shared out. I've found
permissions
with samba to be an annoyance, but permissions in Linux/ Unix are
somewhat of
an annoyance anyway...
