Oh, brother. I used to *publish* the hooks to get CAP, the Columbia Appletalk Protocol server, and later netatalk to work for SunOS sytems to allow Mac access. These days, MacOS clients can use NFSv3 to access Linux hosts quite handily. I'd use that, seriously. The tricky part is unmounting gracefully: NFS is supposed to be "stateless", but never quite achieves it. If you need better authentication, then look into CIFS (which Linux and various network appliances use Samba to publish), or possibly NFSv4 (which has much better user authentication than NFSv3, but is more complex to set up). > On 04/02/2016 12:51 PM, ToddAndMargo wrote: >> On 04/02/2016 09:22 AM, Kevin K wrote: >>> Are you trying to share FROM Linux to Mac, or from Mac to Linux? >>> >>> A few weeks back, I wanted to share from my Mac to Linux, and had all >>> sorts of difficulty.
