<p>You move from computer to computer and from OS to OS but you need to
|
|
always be in your home directory. This article will show you how - in both
|
|
Linux and Microsoft Windows.
|
|
<br>
|
|
<p><b>Disclaimer: </b>This article provides information we have gleamed
|
|
from reading the books, the HOWTOs, man pages, usenet news groups, and
|
|
countless hours banging on the keyboard. It is not meant to be an all inclusive
|
|
exhaustive study on the topic, but rather, a stepping stone from the novice
|
|
to the intermediate user. All the examples are taken directly from
|
|
our home networks so we know they work.
|
|
<p><b>How to use this guide:</b>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
Words encapsulated by square brackets like [Enter] indicate the depression
|
|
of a key on the keyboard or a mouse button [Mouse1]</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>
|
|
Words encapsulated by squiggly brackets like {your name here} indicate
|
|
data that will/should be substituted with "real" data</li>
|
|
|
|
<br>Text depicted in italics are commands you, the user, should type at
|
|
a prompt</ul>
|
|
<b>Prerequisites:</b> In order to have your home directory wherever you
|
|
go, you have to have it on your server, so make certain you have an account
|
|
on your server. You will also need the samba, nfs client, and nfs server
|
|
installed.
|
|
<p><b>Protocols:</b> We have seen the question: how do I share a linux
|
|
drive to window so many times in the newsgroups that it should never have
|
|
to be asked again. But it still continues to be asked. Windows use the
|
|
smb protocol to share drives - not tcp/ip. So to share a linux resource
|
|
you have to run the smb protocol on linux. Samba is the program that does
|
|
this. Linux, on the other hand, uses the tcpip protocol, and the nfs program
|
|
is used to share the resources. The protocols are completely different,
|
|
but they can be run at the same time and share the same resources. There
|
|
is a serious problem with locking the files if both protocols are sharing
|
|
the same resource at the same time, but for home use this really should
|
|
not be a problem. Security is also a concern and we would strongly recommend
|
|
that your "/home server" be behind a firewall and tcp wrappers be running.
