The way we handle this at my office is by sharing over samba to the windows clients, and by nfs to the linux clients. The nfs exports the same data as smb so it's identical, but nfs is better suited for unix.

All of our user authentication is done via LDAP. We have an all Linux backend and tons of windows desktops. We've just started getting a few people to move to Linux on the desktop. Is there any way that I can have their home directory automatically mounted via Samba when they log in?

Thanks,

I use NFS for my Linux desktop. However, our users have root access to their desktops and I'm concerned about the security of the server in that situation. I no I can squash root but if the user can create a local user with the same numeric userid as some other user, they could then use that local account to access someone else's files on the NFS server. Maybe I just don't know how to set up the export properly. I also like Samba better since I can open up just one port to the client. Jason ===========
