Strange. Here: Windows Client with Firefox 3.0.17, Samba 3.4.4: no problem with profiles on the Linux server (and on its samba shares). I haven't tried the Unix/Linux way the last weeks ... (or had I, with Ubuntu 9.10? I've deleted it) Viele Gruesse Helmut "Ubuntu" - an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".

What kind of problems did you get with NFS? NFS mounts can hang when the net connection is lost or if the NFS server goes down. Usually this kind of hang is a good thing as it is a guarantee that no data will be lost. If you have mounted with the intr option it is possible to kill hanged processes waiting for an NFS server to come back. > And authentification is more reliable with cifs than with nfs/yp. The big difference between cifs and NFS is that cifs is concerned about which users to trust and NFS is concerned about which computers to trust. When you mount a file system like /home with NFS your machine gets access to all subdirectories of /home like /home/me and /home/someoneelse. Depending on the unix chmod you might have some rights to access files on other peoples home directories. What kind of reliability are you missing in authetification with nis and nfs? > In my home LAN I prefer NFS (from linux to linux), but even here I've > seen som problems. What kind of problems have you seen in your home LAN? regards Henrik -- The address in the header is only to prevent spam.

Sometimes awfully slow transfer rates, lock up etc. Changing to cifs: no more problems. >> In my home LAN I prefer NFS (from linux to linux), but even here >> I've seen som problems. > What kind of problems have you seen in your home LAN?
