What is the best practice for doing that? samba will work fine for this, as each machine assumes a server role that is independant of other systems. You may want to also look at dfs tree's and how you can build a bit of server independance. You will want to look at using something like ldap for userid/password/group management since you will have N number of servers that will likely want to have the same authentication realm. > > Unfortunately SAN and NAS are not really an option due to some financial > restructions.
