I can't seem to find the answer to the following question, not even in "Samba for Dummies". I guess the question is too simple. Anyway...
Is it okay to have more than one samba server in a given local network?
Or put another way...
Do you need a samba server on each linux machine that wants to serve shares?
Responses appreciated.
You can have multiple servers on the network and any Linux box can be a server. If you're not sharing to Windows systems, you can also use NFS instead of Samba.
I'm trying to use both. I'm using NFS for certain functions that do not require Windows and would like to use Samba for those functions that do. This is doable. Right? -- Don Henson
