That should work just fine. We use that exact setup for the little bits of Windows use we do. The user's home directory gets mounted at Windows login time and mapped to the L: drive in our environment by some login script or something like that. I'm not a Windows admin and I didn't set that up. But I know that lots of people use NFS & Samba just like you're talking about and it seems to work fine except for the usual Windows headaches (and Samba configuration learning curve). (In case your next question is about printing, I recommend CUPS for Linux clients and Samba as a CUPS client to "share" the printers to Windows clients) > That would mean that the user would have the same home on both servers > and wouldn't need to copy things back and forth between them, but what > about file locking, and what other issues are there? Of course you won't be able to do things like editing the same OpenOffice file in both environments at the same time unless you like to lose changes, etc. But in general it seems to work fine. FYI, you probably shouldn't refer to this type of thing as "copy/paste" as at first I thought you were going to ask about copying & pasting text between an rdesktop window and a Linux app, etc. HTH, Jason ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
