You can use Samba itself, or you could configure NFS. Neither is recommended for machines directly exposed to the internet.

If you use NFS, the network is totally transparent (like mapped drives in Windows). If you use samba, smbmount is what you are looking for on the console, and any of the GUI wrappers around it. > I also want to have local mailing system to be configured in this network. See the archives. Use postfix|exim|sendmail|qmail. Mandrake comes by default with postfix, and I recommend reading the documentation at http://www.postfix.org for more info. Your setup is described in the FAQ probably.
