Hi,
I'm desperately trying to set up a secure file sharing server. It should support both user authentification and data encryption. It will run in a non-secure LAN and provide about 15 users with their home directories.
depending on your needs you could either use openafs (supports encryption) http://www.openafs.org/ but thats maybe too much for the setting you want. If you only got around 5 users that want to mount their homes ( -> the "client" machines run linux), you maybe want to give shfs a try: http://shfs.sourceforge.net/ Bascically you can mount server directories on your clients, using ssh. This only works, if your "client computers" run linux, because it has a kernel module that allows transparent mounting. Works like a charm for me... peace, Tom
