Re: [OT] Network file sharing



I have NFS and SMB shares on my network for accessing things like my mp3


FYI, since no-one seems to have mentioned it, Mac OS X supports NFS, once you have worked out how to set it up. That might fit with your existing set-up, assuming you don't

Select the finder,
Go-->Connect to Server
Click on Appletalk
type into address:
smb://<domain or workgroup>;<username>@<smb hostname>/<share name>

Caveat: no spaces are allowed in this syntax, which windows does allow. I'd imagine that there's a way to escape the spaces, but for now, I 've worked around a username with spaces by putting in the wrong user name, then correcting it on the subsequent dialog.

That said,apt-get netatalk anyway, mount the windows box from your linux box, and fly on.
