Hi, I've users connecting to a samba server via WinNTWS 4.0 (home directories are /home/%u) While workstations have both Windows and Linux installed, I want to allow users to connect to their /home directory when logging into Linux. Do you think it's better to automount the folders using an NFS mount or to use an SMBFS mount ? What are advantages and drawbacks of each methods ? Thanks, ionel ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en fran?ais ! Yahoo! Courrier : courrier.yahoo.fr
I personally automount all my directories. This allows the greatest flexibility when you have to move the directories to other disk drives. Also it provides a single location where all the users are located. -----Original Message----- From: Ionel GARDAIS [mailto:igardais@yahoo.fr] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 8:48 AM To: samba@samba.org Subject: mounting NFS or SMBFS ?
