Re: alternatives to NIS and NFS

Samba's not a goer. Doesn't do Unix permissions. It's a Windows/OS/2 sharing scheme.


I was wondering about that ...

There is nfs over ssl but its not yet ported to linux: http://www.crufty.net/Products/sNFS.html

There is shfs, an ssh file system, but it seems too immuture to use on a corperate network : http://shfs.sourceforge.net/index.html

what about http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/smbfs/ . smbfs with unix extentions?

Cheers

I like this bit:
Note on patches

Samba 3, Linux 2.4.25 and Linux 2.6 now support these extensions without any extra patches.

I've only spent a few secs looking at it, but if it supports RHL 7.3 it looks like it's been around for a while.
