Old topic I know, but I've just gotten around to looking at this again. I looked up Coda first. That doesn't seem to be suitable because it doesn't mirror a 'normal' UNIX filesystem. It keeps its own directory and stores stuff on a raw disk partition. This doesn't sound suitable for files that would be accessed both from Windows machines (via Samba), and Linux machines (via something else, presumably.) I checked into AFS, but unless I'm mistaken you have to buy some kind of server license. That makes testing it out as a solution kind of difficult. I'd just use smbfs, but the problem then becomes how to transparently mount all the needed shares *as the user that's currently logged in.* Making user-mountable fstab entries is easy enough, but that still leaves the problem of having to prompt the user multiple times for their password...
