I found that NFS was really slow to connect. I gather it might have been something to do with the lack of a name server or equivalent but I never managed to sort it out. I also found that if i shut down the nfs server without unmounting on the client then client would fail to unmount it and refuse to shut down. The fix being to switch on the server again. I think this behaviour can be changed but I didn't try it. I found samba much easier to configure. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
