/me uses NFS for only two machines on his lan
Well sharing a device can be done using geomgate. The problem with
this making it play nicely... not more than one device can connect to
it with write privileges.
For this I would just use NFS and then ssh into that one machine and
burn it from there.
I would say NFS would be the simpleist solution... samba is workable,
but authentication with it is a total PITA as it does not play nicely
for using NIS or local authentication... only really supports LDAP and
a newer and older samba passwd storage... So if you are running NIS on
your lan, NFS is easy the way to go. For LDAP on the lan, I would say
it is your personal choice between Samba and NFS.
The handbook has a nice chapter on NIS and NFS.
For printing, I would suggest reading the chapter in the handbook. It
has some nice info on it. I would also suggest apsfilter, since it
makes drivers nice to work with. There is also CUPS if you don't want
to use the base lpd.
