Windows And Linux

[Brian Densmore]

Question on NFS. Isn't NFS full of security holes? Aren't there a few
alternatives with better security measures than NFS? Has anybody ever used
any of them. I'd like to use such a beast on my home network. Right now I
use scp and floppies, because my network is connected to the internet and I
don't any crackers coming in the back door.

RedHat linux comes with a few tools for using it as a server in a multiple
OS environment:

1.  Samba  -  set up Win9x/NT/2000 file and printer shares, setting up
NT/2000 Domain Controllers
2.  Netatalk  -  enable connectivity with MacOS (an Appletalk clone)
3.  NFS  -  Network File System... client/server application for sharing
files over a network, usually different flavors of unix, but can also be
used by other OSes with commercial software.

All of these services can be set up to use the same directory structure,
enabling the sharing of resources between many different platforms and
users.

Hello Everyone,

I have a question or confusion:

I would like to know if is possible to have a netework running a RedHat
server and have Linux and Windows clients? Now, I believe it is possible
but, does the RedHat server needs to be running Samba for this or not? Are
there other alternatives or a different network implementation that will
work/run with two or three different Operating Systems?

This is only for practice purpose. I would like to test if I can create such
network.

Thanks for your input.
