stable/secure remote mount option
I have two linux boxes, one at work and one at home. The one at work
has several remote filesystems mounted to it via samba (2 unix and 2
NT). I would like to have access to all of those filesystems from home
as well. I currently use samba to mount them all, but I periodically
have problems. This prompts me to ask what is the most stable and most
secure way of mounting remote filesystems. Is NFS a better option than
samba? I suspect these are my best two options, but perhaps there is
more? Security isn't a huge issue. The data I'm trasporting isn't
particularly sensitive (i.e. it doesn't really matter if someone sees
it.) I just mean security in the sense that someone can't use it as a
hole to get into my system.
Thanks,
Brian
