[GRLUG] Question Related to Network Folders and Samba

[Justin Denick]

I'm not so sure I follow.
Setup is someting like:
-- 1Desktop PC running Ubuntu sometimes and Windows ate other
-- A file server that runs samba for the Windows user and the Unbuntu user

Why not handle the home directory with fstab on Ubuntu and drop the Samba
Client.
Something like:

samba.server.name:/shared/home   /home   nfs   defaults   0 0
