linux - linux network sharing?

[craptakular]

Hi,

I setup a debian server some time ago. It has samba working great and I am able to read/write my files in win7 and OSX.

I installed opensuse on my other HDD and after fiddling with the firewall I can now see my samba shares. I just cannot write to them. I use the same username and password as my windows 7 account so it should just work?

Is samba even appropriate for linux - linux network sharing?

thanks guys! I think I'm going to use NFS for linux sharing. If I have understood it right, samba is for windows protocols.

I am about to install the server stuff on my debian server, it seems opensuse already has the nfs client installed!

Oli - welcome to the forums, I hope you keep checking back on this post incase I get stuck

I think I have it setup, it's miles easier than Samba!

All I have done is add:

192.168.0.4(rw)

to the server file and all is working.

Anyother variables I need to add? I found I guide from 2000 though which said something about async to increase write speeds. I haven't done anything the guide said mainly because it's so old.

What do people suggest?
