maybe you missed my point. I'm not talking about a central file
server that can have mature ldap and apache implementation. This isn't
a small business network, with central management. This is a home
network that has maybe on average 3 personal computers in use on the
network. I'm talking about smb/cifs enabled "bricks" you go to a
retail store to purchase then plug into your home network and they are
expected to act like a windows file share that can be accessed from
each of those home computers.
Oh I understand. That is what you get now, but another year or so you
will get what I am describing. It all completely makes sense as an
evolutionary step.
I am not really sure why everyone hates autofs so much. I am always
looking for something better, but for general purpose file sharing it
just works.
