computers. This saves the user from having to download messages to their current computer or from having to log in to the server just to get mail. There is only one mailbox for each user, no matter from where it is accessed. /home This is a similar concept to sharing mail, except that all users have access to their home directories from any of the NFS clients. Again, you would mount /home on the same mount point on each client computer. When the user logs in, that user has access to all the user s startup files and data files contained in the /home/user directory. Tip If your users rely on a shared /home directory, you should make sure that the NFS server that exports the directory is fairly reliable. If /home isn t available, the user may not have the startup files to login correctly, or any of the data files needed to get work done. One workaround is to have a minimal set of startup files (.bashrc, .Xdefaults, and so on) available in the user s home directory when the NFS directory is not mounted. Doing so allows the user to log in properly at those times. /project Although you don t have to use this name, a common practice among users on a project is to share a directory structure containing files that people on the project need to share. This way everyone can work on original files and keep copies of the latest versions in one place. /var/log An administrator can keep track of log files from several different computers by mounting the /var/log file on the administrator s computer. (Each server may need to export the directory to allow root to be mapped between the computers for this to work.) If there are problems with a computer, the administrator can then easily view the shared log files live. If you are working mostly with Red Hat Linux and other UNIX systems, NFS is probably your best choice for sharing file systems. If your network consists primarily of MS Windows computers, you may want to look into using Samba for file sharing. Setting Up a Samba File Server in Red Hat Linux Samba is a software package that comes with Red Hat Linux that lets you share file systems and printers on a network with computers that use the Session Message Block (SMB) protocol. SMB is the protocol that is delivered with Windows operating systems for sharing files and printers. Although you can t always count on NFS being installed on Windows clients (unless you install it yourself), SMB is always available (with a bit of setup). On the Red Hat Linux side, the Samba software package contains a variety of daemon processes, administrative tools, user tools, and configuration files. The work you need to do with Samba centers on the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. You can either edit /etc/samba/smb.conf by hand or use the SWAT program (which runs in a browser window) to set up the file. Daemon processes consist of smbd (the SMB daemon) and nmbd (the NetBIOS name server). smbd is what makes the file sharing and printing services you add to your Red Hat Linux computer available to Windows client computers. The client computers this package supports include: Windows 9x Windows 2000
