Okay, I've just recently started using Linux systems again and
since I have changed my fileserver over to a Mac, I can no longer
access the files from it via Linux. Does anyone on this list know
how to do it over a network? I can access the files just fine from
PC's running Windows as I'm using Sharepoints on the Mac for this
purpose. I always used Samba with Linux when I had the fileserver
running Windows, but the Samba commands no longer work with the Mac
fileserver. Any help appreciated.
OS X supports NFS, SMB and AFP. You need to turn on Windows File
Sharing to enable Samba on OS X..

This is the sig that says 'NI!'
Agreed, and it works fine for Windows machines, but not for Linux
boxes.
I've mounted my Mac on a Linux system, long time ago, as a test. If I
remember the process I"ll post it. IIRC all I had to do was turn on
Windows file sharing on the Mac, then treat it as if it were a Windows
system. A key is setting the Workgroup name in the SMB settings in
Directory Access
Justin suggested using NFS to export the server drives but I'm having
some problems figuring out what path to put in the exports file.
What would the correct path be for SCSI drives named D, E, F and G?
All mac volumes are mounted at /Volumes but OS X != Linux; you don't
set things up the same way.
You set up NFS exports using Netinfo Manager. But it's kind of
arcane, and I can't find the web page I used to set it up right now.
Here is a utility to make it easier:

Okay, thanks to the NFSManager program you suggested Bruce, I finally
figured it out. I was not setting up the /etc/hosts file on the Linux
box to reflect the fileserver IP address. Once I did that everything
came together. And I still have the rest of the afternoon to see what
other trouble I can get into! 8^)
Just a message from Doug...
