* Ethan Benson | note that i don't fully understand how coda works, but the impression | i get is you need a very large ammount of LOCAL disk space to hold | coda's cache/offline storage. this to me defeats the purpose of a | network filesystem in a large number of cases (i have several machines | with not much disk, and one with lots of space, thus i export /home)
No, you don't have to have a large cache, but if you want to be able to work without network connectivity, you want to have a large cache. | coda is also very non-trivial to administer and maintain from what i | can see. its just not designed with small setups in mind. NFS is a | very simple and convenient network filesystem, it just lacks any | attempt at a security infrastructure. Then you have to plug it in, using something like <URL:ftp://ftp.monash.edu.au/pub/keithl/SES/> , which exports your home directory, if you first successfully authenticate using Kerberos. -- Tollef Fog Heen Unix _IS_ user friendly... It's just selective about who its friends are.
