It would mangle permissions down to the basic Windows ones, unless you configured advanced Samba options that weren't set by default. Also, I'd frequently find that it was dead slow in one direction (one computer could copy files over quickly, but trying it the other way around, was slower than floppy disc drives). I just use NFS, and the autofs thingummy so that any calls to /net/servername/sharename (replacing servername with the hostname of the server, and sharename with the name of the exported directory), simple connects to that exported share without me "mounting" things, neither manually, nor with fstab (which is horrible for things that aren't permanent mounts). -- tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.14.5-200.fc20.i686 #1 SMP Mon Jun 2 15:03:19 UTC 2014 i686 All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I will only read messages posted to the public lists.
