Can anyone point me to some docs that would help me configure my home

then I want to access it from my laptops and desktops. These machines
are a mixture of XP and Debian machines. Currently I am most intrested
in getting access to the server from the debian machines first. I have
tried using Samba and NFS, but I am having difficulty getting write
access to the drives. I can get read access to them and I can copy
stuff from the drives, but I can not get write access to the drives from
the laptops etc.
NFS should be dead simple to get working. Have you allowed write
access in /etc/exports on the server?
what are the perms on the network shares on the server?
what are the perms on the mount points on the client?
how are you mounting the shares on the client?
these four things need to match up to make it work.

IIRC, the users/UID's need to match on NFS as well, unless there is some
way to surmount it (likely lowering the security level as a
consequence?).
you mean from one machine to the next, the users with the same name
must have the same UID? I think you're right, or you can allow write
access to others, which is what I do on my home lan. probably not the
greatest idea, but it is just music and photos.
