All, First off, I know that naming directories is completely arbitrary, but I am just trying to get some opinions regarding best practices. I only use one samba share (home). There is a symlink called "share" in each users' $HOME that points to /opt/data/share, which has a *many* subdirectories (owned by certain groups). Since there are so many subdirectories, I am reluctant to make them into separate shares. I tried this once. Users just had too many drives mounted, which is what made me decided to consolidate. Basically, I think it is confusing to have the "share" symlink in the home share. In addition, it is confusing to have /opt/data/share as an NFS share. I just think that the name of the link and directory "share" should be replaced with one of the following: "transfer" "exchange" "common" Any thoughts or suggestions? Mike

Make /opt/data/share its own share and connect directly.> Basically, I think it is confusing to have the "share" symlink in the > home share.
